Mr. Speaker, it is very important that we work very hard to get as many countries as possible to come to Ottawa next month. More than 100 are coming now. The Prime Minister was able to recruit others last week at the Commonwealth conference. He will be at the francophone meetings next week, and I am going to the Middle East to undertake a campaign to get more countries to come.
It is also very important to enlist the entire House of Commons and the Senate in trying to ratify the treaty at the same time as we sign it. That would be a very important signal to the leadership of Canada. Clearly we must begin dedicating serious resources to the implementation of the treaty.
