Foreign Affairs committee Please, yes, do that. To my knowledge, there are additional parties. I would like to get that information. My second question is in terms of what's going on right now with respect to the conflict. Beyond dealing with Hamas, is there a solely military solution to seeing that eve

Foreign Affairs committee Thank you, Mr. Chair. Thank you to the witnesses for being here today. I would like to start by stating and recognizing clearly that a person is a person is a person.

Diversity and Inclusion Mr. Speaker, we have been clear. Our government has been clear. The Hamas attacks on Israel were terrorist attacks. However, Ms. Elghawaby's mandate to combat Islamophobia is 100% national. She is working with our newly appointed special envoy on combatting anti-Semitism to comba

Situation in Israel, Gaza and the West Bank Mr. Speaker, I think that dialogue is very important. We need to have conversations and build bridges with other countries to promote peace. We also have to promote a viable solution. It is very difficult to have this conversation today because of the war that is currently taki

Situation in Israel, Gaza and the West Bank Mr. Speaker, there is certainly a spike happening right now in discrimination. Anti-Semitism, anti-Palestinian discrimination, anti-Arab discrimination and Islamophobia are happening within our society and communities. In America, we saw that a six-year-old Muslim boy was stabbed

Sameer ZuberiLiberal
Situation in Israel, Gaza and the West Bank Mr. Speaker, that is an excellent question from the member from across the aisle. We need to recognize that a lot is happening within our communities. It is important for every member of the House to understand that. We need to bring people together, as difficult as that is. We

Situation in Israel, Gaza and the West Bank Mr. Speaker, I will be sharing my time with the member for Toronto—Danforth, my friend within my party.

Foreign Affairs committee Ms. Marineau, you commented on the negative and unintended consequences of sanctions on your social media. Would you like to tell us more?

September 27th, 2023Committee meeting
Sameer ZuberiLiberal
Foreign Affairs committee Yes, thank you. To all the witnesses, I'd like to ask what the value is in harmonizing with other countries or working in coordination with other countries with respect to our sanctions. Would any of you like to elaborate on that point?

Sameer ZuberiLiberal
Foreign Affairs committee I'd like to thank all the witnesses for being here. I'd like to start with Professor Charron. In your brief, you mentioned that an annual review of sanctions would be a good thing. Can you elaborate a little bit about what the value of an annual review would be, in your estimat
September 27th, 2023Committee meeting
Sameer ZuberiLiberal
Foreign Affairs committee That's perfect. Don't you think an annual review would be a little bit onerous, though? Wouldn't you suggest maybe every two years or something along those lines? That's number one. Number two is an open question, without leading you anywhere: Do you have any thoughts with resp

Foreign Affairs committee I asked that question in the interest of getting to what is best and helpful for the people of Iran and all those fighting for freedom, justice and equity. I'll cede my time to the committee.

September 25th, 2023Committee meeting
Sameer ZuberiLiberal
Foreign Affairs committee Yes, is there anything different that you want to add? You don't have to. If you don't have anything, that's fine. I want to ask about unintended consequences. We focus a lot on Iran and how we want to engender positive behaviour from all states, including Iran and the leadershi
