Thank you very much, Mr. Arbeiter.
Ms. Laverdière, thank you for your question.
I'm going to switch to English so that I can give you an exact response.
First of all, as I outlined in my opening statement, there is nothing in the ATT that requires states to have exactly the same type of export control systems across the ATT states parties, and there's nothing in the treaty itself that precludes states from entering into arrangements for expedited permitting or some means of generalized permitting, to allow for special defence relationships and to answer to their own defence and security interests.
I'll ask Robert to speak specifically to the element in the treaty that speaks to non-discrimination, but we are entirely consistent with the treaty and the non-discrimination clause by having different risk management frameworks for different types of exports to different countries. The overriding principle in our establishment of export control policies with respect to the United States is the support for the special defence relationship that exists between our two countries. The integrated North American defence industrial base, which as I said is a formal arrangement that dates back to 1957, is not inconsistent with the ATT. I'll speak to reporting provisions in a moment, but I'll first let Robert speak to the non-discrimination clause.
