I would argue that the intent of most pensioners is not to purchase cluster weapons. Therefore, it would be useful to have that in law so that they were not unintentionally doing that, as I've mentioned other countries have done.
Could you also explain this to me? When Canada, as a state party to the Convention on Cluster Munitions, is legally obligated to ban cluster munitions and to discourage their use by anyone, Canadian Forces personnel are still permitted, during combined operations with states not party to the convention, to transport cluster monitions or to direct and authorize the use of cluster munitions. Does that not say that we don't believe in them, but we're going to give some exemptions to use them?
