This treaty will help prevent the sale of conventional weapons to conflict zones and outlaw states, such as Syria. Canada voted in favour of the treaty at the UN, despite drawing criticism from other countries for being an obstacle to a robust treaty. However, the rumour is that Canada now will not sign or ratify the treaty.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3372830\" data-originallang=\"en\">Will the government now state clearly that it will sign the arms trade treaty and stand up for those victimized by violence in conflict zones?</p>",
