Mr. Speaker, I appreciate the view expressed by the hon. member.
The test is the second in a series of tests France has announced. I have expressed our regret on behalf of the Government of Canada. We hope that by 1996 all countries that have the capacity to have nuclear armament will cease these tests. In the meantime I believe our position is well known by the Canadian public, by the French authorities and by the public at large. I do not think the hon. member should be excited today since this was announced some time ago and we missed his first reactions when the first test took place.
