Excerpts of remarks by Tony Peter Clement - MP from the
Conservative Party of Canada
Despite
their claims of being more moderate, Iran is firmly controlled by its
hardliners. We must continue to oppose the Iranian regime. The facts do not
lie. Executions are up by 30 per cent. Iran's state support of terrorism has
been widely acknowledged.
The
regime has used terrorism as an essential component of its foreign policy and
military strategy.
The regime incites tensions across the Middle East, including in
Saudi Arabia, and Yemen, Bahrain, and they are threats to peace and stability
in the region. And Iran continues to prop up the murderous Assad regime in
Syria and call for destruction and complete elimination of Israel.
Despite
claims of moderation the last election did not bring change in Iran. This was
clearly demonstrated recently as Iranian students celebrating their graduation
were arrested and given 99 lashes for simply attending a coed party.
I am pleased to be counted as a harsh critique in Canada of this brutal regime. In 2012, our conservative government suspended all diplomatic relations with the Islamic Republic. And we must continue to denounce and bring attention to the actions of the Iranian regime. We must not forget the victims of their crimes against their own people and in other countries.

While
we are hopeful that Iran lives up to the commitments it has made to the international
community, including the P5+1 and the International Atomic Energy Agency, we
remain highly skeptical of Iran's real intentions when it comes to its nuclear
program. The regime in Tehran has said many things about its nuclear program,
but we will judge them by their actions not by their words.
And
I want to commend you on your fight against this brutal regime and we in the
conservative party of Canada will continue to be your ally in your opposition
to it.
Thank
you and all the best as you gather to denounce the brutal dictatorship in Iran.
