Let me not compliment Canada on your implementation of the Magnitsky act. The Magnitsky act was passed in 2017, unanimously, by both the lower and upper houses of Parliament. Immediately after it was passed, a number of Russians, including those who killed Sergei Magnitsky, were sanctioned, along with the killers of Jamal Khashoggi, and some Venezuelan officials and people from Myanmar. I think there was one other slate of sanctions.
The Magnitsky act has not been used as a piece of legislation since then. All the sanctions have been used under—I can't remember the name of it—the other sanctions act.
The Magnitsky act should be the chief sanctions legislation to be used in Canada, and I would actually suggest and propose that because there has been so little usage of it by the foreign affairs ministry, there should be some type of parliamentary review to understand what the holdup is, what the barrier is, because the Magnitsky act is the main tool to go after human rights violators.
There are a lot of victims out there that are all wanting Canada to join the rest of the coalition of the willing—the United States, the U.K. and the EU—in using the Magnitsky act in all sorts of terrible situations where it hasn't been used so far.
