Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of the Environment. As of today 71 countries have signed the United Nations biosafety protocol emanating from the convention on biological diversity, but not Canada.

Could the minister indicate to the House whether Canada will sign the protocol on biosafety before the deadline of June 2001?
