It seems to have become a standard practice in recent years that at any international conference where small arms are involved or discussed, the only civil society representative allowed to take part in the Canadian delegation is the president of the Canadian Shooting Sports Association, Steven Torino. For example, he was added to the delegation at the UN meetings on the Arms Trade Treaty on the recommendation, I believe, of your office, and he was also at the UN Conference on the Convention Against Transnational Organized Crime in October in Vienna in 2012.
Can you tell me why Steven Torino seems to be the only representative from civil society invited on Canadian delegations to the UN where small arms are discussed?
