I'll defer to my colleague from Foreign Affairs in a second, but essentially, in its application in Canada, the convention applies to Canada in terms, for example, of the destruction of cluster munitions. In international law, as a state we are obliged to comply with those requirements as a country. The only elements of domestic law are those that are required by article 9 of the convention, which are the offences and the exclusions in this particular bill.
