House of Commons foreign affairs committee wants transparency in Canada’s sanctions regime, accountability for Russia’s war
The House of Commons foreign affairs committee wants the Trudeau government to report to Parliament on a regular basis about whether its sanctions regime is actually working.
Since then, Ottawa has sanctioned hundreds of people linked to Russia’s war effort, as well as officials accused of human-rights breaches from Haiti to Sri Lanka. Canada has also banned Russian firms from some areas of commerce and imposed fees that make products much more expensive to buy in Canada.
“My worry is that at this point, the Canadian government is not doing what they can to enforce the sanctions,” NDP foreign affairs critic Heather McPherson said. “It’s a classic piece of propagandistic distortion of reality, false claims and accusations with added attempt to interfere into Russia’s domestic affairs,” the embassy wrote in an e-mail.
Bloc Quebecois foreign affairs critic Stephane Bergeron admitted in French to “a certain feeling of embarrassment,” despite MPs finding consensus on numerous fronts.
