I want to pick up on one point you mentioned in your preamble. You mentioned in some of your comments the effect this will have in certain vulnerable countries.
The latest statistics I've read is that right now the illegal arms trade in Africa is about $18 billion U.S. annually. That equals the amount of foreign aid that Africa receives, which is about 15% of GDP if you drill down that number.
By trying to make this a more transparent process, and maybe trying to redirect that development aid, how do you think the implementation will be on the ground for this treaty? Where do you see the benefits in Canada trying to accede to this treaty, not only to maintain our leadership in world affairs but also to implement it, and affect the people we're trying to save in all countries?
