Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague from Peace River—Westlock. We both care deeply about this important issue that affects human rights. To me, this bill is more important than ever. On Saturday, I participated in a demonstration in support of women and girls in Iran. People told me that there should be sanctions against this religious regime, which keeps women in a state of subservience and inferiority. This morning, I attended a meeting of the Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs and International Development, standing in for my colleague, the foreign affairs critic. The topic was the conflict in Ukraine, with a focus on terrorist groups like the Wagner Group and the horrible crimes being committed. Witnesses talked about women being used as sexual weapons in this conflict between Ukraine and Russia. It is important to take action and send a clear message. The sanctions need to work. Canada must not be a haven for these criminals.
