Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino says that while legislation is coming within weeks to get tough on the Iranian regime, there is no timeline for hiring people to help enforce fresh sanctions.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced a week ago that Canada would ban thousands of Iranian officials from entering the country, pledging $76 million to enforce new sanctions.
