Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I want to thank our witnesses, both here in person and on video, for being here on short notice on such an important matter.
I know it feels like I'm a really long way from our witnesses, but I'll try to direct my questions in as personable a way as possible.
Before I begin, Mr. Soleimani, I offer my deepest condolences on your loss. I can't imagine what it's like to lose somebody so close to you and somebody you love and then come here and talk about it when you haven't seen the requisite change.
I hadn't planned on asking you this, but I'm going to ask anyway: What impact do you think has occurred by virtue of the fact that we, as Canadian parliamentarians, despite multiple votes and the will of Parliament saying that it should be a terrorist entity and recognized as such, have not recognized the IRGC as a terrorist organization?
