\u201cI know that these are terrible times in Iran that people are risking their lives every single day in hundreds of communities for a better tomorrow,\u201d Tony Clement, former Canadian MP, and Cabinet Minister stressed in his remarks addressing a conference on Saturday<\/a> in Canada. The event was attended by renowned American and Canadian lawmakers and politicians who expressed their support for the Iranian people\u2019s uprising<\/a> and their Resistance<\/a>. Below is the full text of Honorable Tony Clement\u2019s speech, revised and edited for clarity. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I would like to extend my greetings to all of the participants today. My name is Tony Clement. I’m a former member of Parliament and Canada’s Parliament, and former Cabinet Minister, and I would have dearly loved to have been with you today in person.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I also want to extend my greetings to Madame Rajavi. I respect all of the work that she and her team are doing for the benefit of the people of Iran. What I wanted to do with my time is, give you some thoughts and some observations based on my most recent trip to Ashraf in Albania, which occurred about a month ago. And it was a real eye-opening experience for me.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I want to thank all of my hosts, who really extended every courtesy to me, and it was just a personal trip for me alone, so they put a lot of time and effort into the trip and allowed me to make my observations to have discussions with the multitude of people.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

.@TonyclementCPC<\/a>: The world, particularly the western world, can help Iran, and when you look at the things that are available for us in terms of sanctions, in terms of assisting that a pluralistic society is possible in Iran.#IranRevolution<\/a>https:\/\/t.co\/03gSWlChiB<\/a><\/p>\n
