Mr. Speaker, I share the member's disappointment with the NDP's recent statements in this regard.
They have a president in Iran who got elected when they would not even allow women, who represent 51% of the population of Iran, to even contest the office. Iran has issues, as mentioned. It has stepped up its death penalty cases this year, which is deeply concerning to Canada. It is supporting Assad's war against his own people, including providing him with material support. It is financing and actively supporting terrorism around the world.
Its nuclear program causes us deep concern. They do not need to manufacture medical isotopes under 300 metres of rock.
