Mr. Chair, I want to thank my colleague from West Vancouver—Sunshine Coast—Sea to Sky Country for his continued advocacy on behalf of Iranians in Iran, those who have been politically imprisoned. I know that he has a great love for the Persian culture. He often brings greetings during Nowruz, the Persian new year. I also know that he is quite concerned about the human rights conditions and the destabilizing role Iran plays in the Middle East and around the world.
I would like to hear his point of view on how he sees the hopeful discussions of the P5+1 in making sure that Iran does not achieve its nuclear ambitions. More importantly, could he talk about some of the commentary coming out of Tehran in the media that both President Rouhani and the negotiators from Iran who are in the P5+1 essentially told the press there and the entire community that they have not signed anything, nor do they plan on bringing down more than 5% of the centrifuges they have online today.
