Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Thank you for a stimulating discussion here. I just wanted to throw something out for your feedback. We're looking at a situation right now with Iran, which is defiant. Iran does not want the IAEA in there examining facilities and is bent on producing weapons-grade uranium. We have Russia that has already admitted to providing fissionable material to Iran. Right now Iranian warships have just passed through the Suez Canal and are parked off Syria. And you have Syria that is receiving cruise missiles from Russia.
With regard to the remark by my colleague over here, Mr. Dewar, I think we all would like to see a nuclear-weapons-free world, but in saying that, what happened with Mr. Khan.... Realistically, given the situation we're in right now in the world, the efforts to move towards an agreement in 2012, 2014.... Do we really think that anything we do right now moving in this direction would deter states with the mentality of a Mr. Khan, or states like Iran and Syria, which are building capabilities right now that could cause a disaster before we could blink? Would anything we do make a difference in that scenario?
