Mr. Speaker, I have a petition from the citizens of Peterborough who wish to abolish nuclear weapons.
The petitioners point out that 30,000 nuclear weapons still exist on earth. They also point out that the International Court of Justice stated that there exists an obligation to pursuing good faith and
bring to a conclusion negotiations leading to nuclear disarmament in all its aspects under strict, effective international control.
The petitioners pray and request that Parliament support the immediate initiation and conclusion by the year 2000 of an international convention which will set out a binding timetable for the abolition of all nuclear weapons.
