Thank you very much, Mr. Levitt.
Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to our two witnesses for being here today.
We thank you very much for your contribution to the arguments in favour of human rights around the world.
We certainly count you as active contributors to Canada's, I guess, reassertion in the world.
Mr. Neve, you started by talking about the important signal that this sends to the world, the gaining of general respect for this treaty, and what Canada's accession to the treaty can demonstrate to the world. That's the view of the government, that in addition to strengthening our arms trade system, our role is to contribute where we can to other countries around the world that need help strengthening their regimes as well.
Canada contributes $1 million to the U.S. trust fund facility supporting states in their accession to the ATT. Could you both talk briefly about the contribution that Canada can make there and about what the signal that Canada's accession to the treaty can relay to other developing nations around the world?
