Mr. Speaker, I want to thank the hon. member for York Centre for his incredible work on this file. For me, it is very clear. Canada has to play a leadership role across the world in defending the people of Iran and making sure that human rights are upheld in Iran. That includes the Baha'is and the LGBTQ+. That includes everybody. One of the ways that we have already started on the path to do it is to recognize certain Iranian organizations as terrorist organizations. Also, we have led on the issue of imposing a Magnitsky act, which perhaps could be applied to certain Iranian officials.
