Thank you.
We've spoken about the sanctions and whether or not those sanctions are effective. On the diplomatic side, right now there are no diplomatic relations between Iran and Canada. Normally, when we have diplomatic relations with a country, we at least have access to that country and access to information about what's going on. As you said and as we've heard from previous testimony, what is being said and what is being done are two different things.
For example, historically we had the situation where there were no diplomatic ties between China and the U.S. during the Nixon era, yet there were backdoor discussions between Kissinger and various people during that period.
Could you comment on whether there would be any value in beginning or at least trying to open some sort of diplomatic contact with Iran, to at least be able to get truer information as to what's happening with all the religious minorities and the ethnic minorities in Iran?
