- 8 years ago
Canada will not rush to lift sanctions against Iran, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said on Thursday, according to Reuters .
"We're going to be very careful and thoughtful, working and coordinating with our allies in the way that we move to reengage and lift sanctions with Iran ... I understand the need and interest in Canadian businesses to engage but we're going to be doing it the right way," Trudeau was quoted as having told reporters in Calgary.
Dion said in parliament that the government would begin to lift some of the sanctions on Iran, though he added Canada would also "maintain a level of mistrust for a regime that must not have nuclear weapons, a regime that is a danger to human rights and is not a friend to our allies, including Israel."
