Canada, however, is missing in action. This treaty will prevent the arms trade from fueling conflicts in areas such as Syria, Sudan and the DRC.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3381472\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Why are the Conservatives not taking a firm stance against the illegal trade in arms by immediately signing this treaty?</p>",

Or le Canada, lui, manque \u00e0 l'appel. Ce trait\u00e9 permettra d'emp\u00eacher que le commerce des armes n'alimente des conflits dans des zones comme la Syrie, le Soudan et la RDC. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3381472\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Pourquoi les conservateurs ne prennent-ils pas fermement position contre le commerce ill\u00e9gal des armes en signant ce trait\u00e9 d\u00e8s aujourd'hui?</p>"
