Mr. Speaker, I have a petition from concerned Manitobans with regard to the non-proliferation of nuclear weapons.
Canada and all state parties to the 1968 United Nations treaty on the non-proliferation of nuclear weapons reaffirmed their commitment in May 1995 to undertake to pursue negotiations in good faith on effective measures relating to the cessation of the nuclear arms race at an early date.
The petitioners simply would like the House and the government to enter into a binding timetable for the abolition of all nuclear weapons.
