My former colleague at the Munk School of Global Affairs, Ron Deibert, was here, and he spoke of a tsunami of TNR. My colleague mentioned—and I think other analysts said similar things—that in 2026, we should expect an increase in transnational repression, including in Canada, as a result of the conflict with Iran and perhaps its allies.
One interesting common thread in some recent reports from various organizations is that there have to be real, concrete repercussions for those who perpetrate transnational repression in Canada. Whether they're sanctions, prosecutions or investigations, there have to be real, direct repercussions for the perpetrators. One of the previous speakers, Brandon Silver, mentioned using small-level perpetrators of TNR to figure out how to build potential cases up the chain of command to those most responsible.
Canada has done this before. Under the Harper administration, Canada prosecuted a number of perpetrators of genocide in Rwanda. These were complex cases that Canada prosecuted. It's different from TNR, but it's possible for Canada to do this again.
