Thank you.
I wanted to clarify one thing, Chair. The last time we were here we were discussing whether Laos had signed on. I wanted to follow up for the record that they have signed and ratified. I know that was a question for the minister. I wanted to read that into the record.
We know, Mr. Dorn, that at least 11 of our NATO partners believe that this legislation, particularly clause 11 as cited, is something on which they disagree with us. Where the discussion was going the last time with the minister, and hopefully we're continuing that discussion, was on how we can amend it.
Do you see an amendment that would satisfy what you understand is the government's position and the integrity of this important agreement?
