Mr. Speaker, all countries have a duty to support nuclear non-proliferation. Through Canada's nuclear sites, we can make a real contribution to world efforts for disarmament.
On this issue, the Canadian government has sought public views on the shipment of these samples. We have briefed local officials. We have held public forums. We have provided all answers to all questions. We have provided a public comment period. All of that input is now being weighed very carefully by the government and particularly by the Department of Transport before a final decision is taken.
