Mr. Speaker, for the benefit of my hon. colleague and this House, I will reiterate that Canada has long spoken out against Iran's nuclear proliferation. We strongly support nuclear non-proliferation internationally. Therefore, we will continue to reiterate that Iran must not have nuclear weapons.
In addition, the clarity of our foreign policy in terms of international law must be underscored. We are a country of international law. We believe that the international legal rules relating to engagement bind all parties. We support preventing Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon. We support international law.
We are focused on de-escalation, including the numerous calls I have had with G7 counterparts and my colleagues. We will continue to support de-escalation. That is a clear statement of Canadian foreign policy.
