Mr. Speaker, I have a petition here signed by a number of Canadians who are concerned about the continued existence of over 30,000 nuclear weapons on the planet Earth and the continued existence of nuclear weapons, which poses a threat to the health and survival of human civilization and the global environment.
Therefore, they call on parliament to support the immediate initiation and conclusion by the year 2000 of an international convention that will set out a binding timetable for the abolition of all nuclear weapons.
