I hope you're not mistaking goals with approaches, because the goal of focusing the treaty on impeding the trade to terrorists, criminals, and human rights violators has been generally accepted and generally agreed on. It is about how that approach is to be achieved. The simple fact is that, beforehand, delegations said, well, look, this is implied. The Government of Canada said, let's find some way of making it clear, and let's clarify it in this. Some of the approaches we suggested early on did not meet with much favour. It's now the new approach that has met with much greater favour, but the general goal has never been in dispute.
