It is frustrating and dishonest when you have a political party trying to push a sort of great fog over a position on a critical issue. If they're not going to list the IRGC, they should explain why. I think they should list them, but they should own up to their position.
You presented some names that you would like to see on a sanctions list. I want to mention that Bill C-281, which is a private member's bill from my colleague Philip Lawrence, will be debated tomorrow. It seeks to amend the Sergei Magnitsky Law to create a provision whereby a parliamentary committee can nominate someone for sanctions. That would allow, for instance, the foreign affairs committee to nominate some of the individuals from of your list, or all of them perhaps, to the government. Then it would require the government to provide a response to that nomination.
We're talking about listing the IRGC, but it's also notable that nobody connected with the Iranian regime was ever added to the Sergei Magnitsky Law. It may be that this will change in the coming days. We don't know, but we had the first step taken after so much inaction, apparently.
Are there changes you would like to see to Canada's sanctions regime to strengthen it and give parliamentarians more of a voice in being able to push forward names on the list?
