Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Wow, there are a lot of thought-provoking ideas here. I'm intrigued by some of the comments that some of my colleagues made with regard to the theme of the culture of impunity and the mockery of the commitment to human rights.
I'd like to hear from both of you, if I may, about the concept of sanctions and what Canada can do, what parliamentarians can do. We have the Special Economic Measures Act, which eased some of the sanctions against Iran in January of 2016. What are your thoughts on that? What way or what direction we should be taking?
I would like to give both of you time to answer that question. If that's all the time I get, that's fine. I'd just love to hear you give us some of your depth on that. Thanks.
