Mr. Speaker, recently at the United Nations, Canada abstained on a resolution asking the International Court of Justice for an opinion on the legality of the threat or use of nuclear weapons.
In light of the minister of state for foreign affairs recent statement to the UN General Assembly in which she advocated strenghthening the human rights and environmental functions within the United Nations, can she assure the House that when the same resolution comes to a vote in the General Assembly, Canada will no longer abstain but vote for nuclear responsibility and support the resolution?
