Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you so much, Dr. Esmaeilion, for being here, for being the voice of your family and other families and for being a voice magnifying the experience and suffering of people in Iran, in the region and all over the world who have, as you've said, been suffering for decades under the oppression of this regime.
Of course, the violence of the regime didn't start with the downing of flight PS752 and didn't end with the downing of flight PS752. As you know, about two years before that, we had a motion adopted in Parliament to immediately list the IRGC as a terrorist organization. The evidence was well sufficient at that time, prior to some of the more recent events. In fact, the government voted for it but then failed to implement it.
The first question I want to ask kind of builds off this discussion of listing the IRGC as a terrorist organization. Do you know what the government's position is on this? I don't, and we've been trying to ask the government about it. They voted for this motion but no action was taken. There are these messages pushed out with excuses. I hope you have regular access to ministers. I hope you are able to ask these questions and hear back.
Is the government planning to list the IRGC, planning not to list the IRGC or thinking about listing the IRGC? It's been four years since the motion and 1,000 days since the downing of the flight. Do you know what the Government of Canada's position is on this?
