Mr. Speaker, I rise today on behalf of the people of Richmond Hill South and tens of thousands of petitioners who signed this petition who are concerned about Iranian regime-linked harassment and intimidation occurring on Canadian soil, endangering Canadians of Iranian heritage and of all backgrounds.
The petitioners are calling on the Prime Minister and the Government of Canada to expand and rigorously enforce targeted sanctions against leaders and enemies responsible for repression; fully implement the IRGC listing through investigations, asset freezes, seizures and prosecutions where warranted, and strengthen immigration and inadmissibility screening to prevent entry by regime officials and their affiliates and family members; direct federal law enforcement and security agencies to investigate foreign interference, transnational repression and money laundering linked to the regime in Iran and to protect Canadians from intimidation; ensure that the foreign influence transparency and accountability regime in Canada includes meaningful penalties and strong enforcement; swiftly implement a robust foreign agent registry to keep Canadians safe; work with international partners to pursue independent investigations and accountability for the mass killings and abuses during the January 2026 crackdowns; and, finally, expel and remove from Canada individuals acting as agents of the regime in Iran.
