Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of Foreign Affairs.
Later this month there will be a very important resolution voted on at the United Nations General Assembly sponsored by the New Agenda Coalition. The resolution calls on nuclear weapons states to move rapidly toward a total elimination of nuclear weapons as particularly important in light of the failure of the CTBT in the U.S. Senate and political instability in Pakistan.
I ask the Minister of Foreign Affairs whether Canada will show leadership at the UN and vote yes on this important resolution which is sponsored by the New Agenda Coalition?
