During the Senate committee proceedings it was suggested that Canada's regulatory framework for the import, export, control, and safeguarding of nuclear material has been in place for years and is already sufficient to implement the physical protection measures required for the International Convention for the Suppression of Acts of Nuclear Terrorism, the ICSANT, and the amendment to the Convention on the Physical Protection of Nuclear Material.
Would you say it's correct that our current legislative and regulatory regime is consistent with our obligations under ICSANT and the amendment to the CPPNM, or is Bill S-9 necessary for us to be in a position to ratify both treaties?
