Mr. Garneau, I missed part of what you said because of technical problems.
What Canada is trying to do with clause 11 is an aberration. Canada is on its own with the current wording of clause 11. The Cluster Munition Coalition is very concerned.
Let's take the example a step further. If all the states seeking to adhere to the convention prohibiting cluster munitions wanted to keep an opening like the one in clause 11, cluster munitions would not be eliminated. The goal and purpose of the convention would not be achieved. That is why any small crack like that is prohibited. Reservations about the treaty are not permitted. That is why the reaction to the Canadian bill is so strong.
