Mr. Speaker, Canada is not refusing to sign the convention. Canada has been a leader in trying to eliminate global corruption around the world.
Every convention raises complicated domestic legal issues as well as international legal issues. We will continue to pursue this, as the Prime Minister did when we were in Monterrey, to bring the American states together around anti-corruption. We work with members of the opposition and parliamentarians who are against corruption. We are extremely active on this file.
We welcome the member's question because we want to pursue this. This side of the House is determined to eradicate corruption around the world.
