I do appreciate your articulating the difference between the two. When we had representatives from the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission—they testified before the committee as well—all affirmed that Canada operates under a world-class nuclear safety and security regime.
Now the amendments to the Criminal Code in Bill S-9 reflect obligations imposed under many of these agreements. We've already mentioned the International Convention for the Suppression of Acts of Nuclear Terrorism and the Convention on the Physical Protection of Nuclear Material.
My question, Professor, is this. Once Bill S-9 is enacted, Canada would be in a position to ratify these conventions. Do you think the enactment of domestic legislation to implement Canada's obligations would be effective in further establishing that safe network, that technology supply network, as well as our own state use of nuclear technology?
