Canada continues to “appreciate the efforts” of U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and the five other countries leading the talks with Tehran, but the government won’t budge on sanctions, said Rick Roth, a spokesman for Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird.
“The deal cannot be abused or undermined by deception,” Roth said in an email, Canadian Press reported.
Rick Roth said: “The Iranian people deserve the freedom and prosperity that they have been denied for too long by the regime’s nuclear ambitions. Until then, Canadian sanctions will remain tough, and in full force.”
