It's a great honour to be back at the justice committee, albeit just for an hour.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7342177\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Esmaeilion, welcome back to Ottawa. We have seen you do an incredible job advocating on behalf of the families, and it has now been well over two and a half years.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7342178\" data-originallang=\"en\">As you know, earlier this week our government announced that they were sanctioning high-ranking officials. Some of those names were names that you and the families had submitted for consideration. The <a data-HoCid=\"278918\" href=\"/politicians/melanie-joly/\" title=\"M\u00e9lanie Joly\">minister</a> has indicated that this is only a first step. Are there any Iranian officials on Canadian soil who are of particular interest to you and whom you would like to see sanctioned?</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"7342176\" data-originallang=\"en\">Merci, monsieur le pr\u00e9sident. C'est un grand honneur d'\u00eatre de retour au Comit\u00e9 de la justice, m\u00eame si c'est pour une heure seulement.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7342177\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur Esmaeilion, bienvenue \u00e0 Ottawa. Nous voyons que vous faites un travail incroyable pour d\u00e9fendre les int\u00e9r\u00eats des familles, et cela fait maintenant bien plus de deux ans et demi.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7342178\" data-originallang=\"en\">Comme vous le savez, au d\u00e9but de la semaine, notre gouvernement a annonc\u00e9 qu'il sanctionnait des fonctionnaires de haut rang. Certains de ces noms \u00e9taient des noms que vous et les familles aviez soumis pour examen. La <a data-HoCid=\"278918\" href=\"/politicians/melanie-joly/\" title=\"M\u00e9lanie Joly\">ministre</a> a indiqu\u00e9 qu'il ne s'agissait que d'une premi\u00e8re \u00e9tape. Est\u2011ce qu'il y a des responsables iraniens en sol canadien qui pr\u00e9sentent un int\u00e9r\u00eat particulier pour vous et que vous souhaiteriez voir subir des sanctions?</p>"
