I'm happy to withdraw the amendment until after such time as there has been a briefing. This is a general statement and a very uncomplicated and clear expression of Canada's will. My intention with the friendly amendment was that was exactly the path that had been developed by the former secretary general, and the intent was to reinforce what he has been trying to argue. However, if it complicates the matter, I am more than happy to rescind it.
On February 5th, 2008. See this statement in context.
