¶1. (SBU) On January 12, Economic Minister-Counselor and newly
arrived Deputy Terrorist Financing Coordination Officer
discussed reftel non-paper with Yves Beaulieu, Deputy
Director for Counter-Terrorism, International Crime and
Terrorism Division, Department of Foreign Affairs and
International Trade (DFAIT). Beaulieu appreciated receiving
word of the U.S. domestic designation of additional Iranian
entities and individuals for supporting WMD proliferation and
promised to circulate the non-paper to relevant Canadian
agencies immediately.
¶2. (SBU) Beaulieu said that DFAIT and the Department of
Justice are in the processing of creating a new internal
mechanism to allow the GoC to move quickly on designations
under UNSCR 1737. The existing mechanism is designed to act
expeditiously on designations under UNSCR 1267 and 1373, but
it needs modification in order to allow Ottawa to move
equally quickly on proliferators under UNSCR 1737. These
changes will take a couple of weeks to arrange. The DFAIT
official stressed that existing law makes it mandatory for
Canada to comply fully with UNSCRs, and therefore making
these administrative changes is a top priority within the
bureaucracy.
¶3. (SBU) Beaulieu was especially interested in the
non-paper's statement that the "the U.S. plans to propose the
addition of all Iranian entities and individuals designated
pursuant under E.O. 13382 to the Annex (of UNSCR 1737)" and
asked when this would be done. He noted that once the new
entities and individuals are added to the Annex, Canada would
be able to act in like fashion to the U.S.
¶4. (SBU) The Embassy political section has shared the
non-paper with officials in DFAIT's non-proliferation office.
