Once we have implemented our obligation, the second step will be to decide whether or not we want to ratify the treaties. Ratification is the step where you can become a member of the treaties, so we're at the stage where we're contemplating amendments in order to comply with the treaties. Once our legislation is in line with the treaties, we're going to have to go to the second step, the one dealing with the ratification of the treaties themselves.
