Mr. Speaker, as I have said on several occasions, the objective of the Government of Canada is to eventually completely eliminate the manufacture, export and use of land mines. There are, of course, a number of countries doing this. This is why discussions are under way in the UN to gain acceptance of this objective by all countries.
Canada has already taken part in some meetings and will play an extremely active role in the next, to be held in Geneva early this coming January, in order to gain worldwide acceptance of the objective we are pursuing.
