Mr Chairman, first, I believe it was last week that a kit was distributed to all members of Parliament which contained information about the treaty. I believe a copy of the treaty was included.
The treaty has also been on the website and is available for everybody to access. We can give hon. members the website number. I should mention we have also established a separate website to cover the conference itself. We will be, during the course of the proceedings next week when the treaty conference is being held at the Conference Centre, organizing within the parliamentary area a special room in which members of Parliament can watch the proceedings.
We intend to bring a number of participants, ministers, NGOs and some of the children who are involved to meet the members of Parliament. We will have our officials available to share information.
I think that portion is scheduled for next Thursday, probably after question period. We would like to involve the the members of Parliament as much as possible. The conference room is small in terms of the number of people who can get in. That is why we thought we would open an ante-room here at Parliament so that members could participate and have access to the number of individuals, officials and participants who come for a special session on Thursday.
It happens from time to time that staff take our documents to read and cherish them. If this has happened in the case of members, we will be more than happy to replace them, perhaps through the spokesperson for each party. If any of the members would like further documentation we would be more than happy to supply it.
Furthermore, Mr. Chairman, I beg your indulgence not to use props. We just had hand delivered this morning the logo pin for the conference. If any member of Parliament would like to have one, I would be more than glad to distribute them when our proceedings are completed.
