Mr. Speaker, it was in the General Assembly that Canada abstained on the resolution to which my colleague refers.
It is very important to stress that Canada's goal as a nation is the elimination of all nuclear weapons worldwide. We are trying to develop incrementally a consensus around the world on this issue. In the meantime, we will work very actively internationally to try to enhance a nuclear non-proliferation treaty and a comprehensive test ban treaty.
We consider this is very important for all the same reasons but including the protection of the environment and humanity.
