Mr. Speaker, I solute the hon. member for Nepean—Carleton who came forward with this suggestion.

The availability of technology is not only to give effect to the terms of the treaty in which Canada has played such an important role but to give availability of solutions to people whose lives have disrupted by the unfortunate consequence of land mines.
