Thank you. I'm very glad for the opportunity to clarify.
I did not make any reference to Canada's role at the United Nations and equate that in any way with the BMD discussion. There must have been a problem with the translation. No, I made no such comment.
One can make an argument on the arms control side—for example, with respect to North Korea and certainly with respect to Russia—that not participating in BMD might enhance our ability in a multilateral negotiation to play a constructive role, but no, there's no relationship with our role at the United Nations. When we run for the Security Council, one of the things we'll be judged on will be, of course, the kind of multilateral role we've played in arms control and disarmament, but again, that's a separate issue.
