Thank you very much.
Again, Ambassador, thank you very much for being with us today.
Ambassador Rae, I know that you've done quite a lot of work on disarmament, but in 2014 you were a member of this committee when it studied Canada's proposed cluster munitions legislation. Right now this committee is undertaking work where we are reviewing legislation that will be looking at similar pieces.
At that time, you expressed your opposition to section 11 of the act, which permits Canadian Forces members to order the use of cluster munitions weapons. You said this “stands in stark contradiction with the fact that Canada is opposed to the use of these bombs.”
I'm bringing forward an amendment to this bill that's before us that would fix, finally, the cluster munitions act in a section that you once said had a serious problem. Will your government be supporting this amendment? Do you know?
