Thank you, gentlemen, for coming in today to give us your presentations.
My question is specifically with respect to the sanctioning situation with Iran. The Government of Canada did cut diplomatic ties with Iran in 2012, and though we haven't officially restored them, we have announced that we're willing to open a dialogue with Iranian officials and use that opportunity to promote human rights for Iranians.
Would a restoration of diplomatic ties increase Canada's ability to engage Iran on its human rights record?
Either one of you may answer.
