Statement made on 07 October 2009 by Senator Elizabeth Hubley

Hon Elizabeth Hubley:

Honourable senators, on September 25, 2009, France and Burundi became the twentieth and twenty-first countries to ratify the UN Convention on Cluster Munitions. Thirty countries must ratify this convention for it to come into force. Canada has not ratified it yet. Will the Leader of the Government in the Senate assure us that this government remains committed to ratifying this convention?
