I have a quick response to that.
We also acknowledge that there are a lot of people who are concerned about this. After the testimony that we heard, I don't think anybody around this table does anything but despise these munitions. We've made a commitment that we're going to try to convince non-signatories that it would be in their best interests to sign this as well. The best thing we could do is eliminate these munitions entirely, then we'd all be in agreement about what the solutions are.
The reality is that the opposition can take pretty much any position they choose. They have not taken a position that's irresponsible. They've tried to work with us on this and we appreciate that. As government, we need to find a realistic solution so that we strike a balance between article 21, interoperability, finding a place for our troops to be able to function, and yet not supporting the use of cluster munitions. That is what we've tried to do. That's what we believe we've been able to do for those few troops who will be affected by this.
I'll leave it at that. I want to thank all reasonable people for working together to try to find a reasonable solution.
