However, I remain concerned. Yes, it was pledged in the campaign, but as I said earlier, it was also said that the assessment of arms deals should be released and we are saying the government is not doing that.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4192081\" data-originallang=\"en\">My specific question is this: what has been done up to now? What is the plan? Is there a timeline and can the member give an estimate of when Canada will be able to accede to this very important treaty and show not only in words that Canada is back on such an important issue?</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"4192080\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madame la Pr\u00e9sidente, il n'y a essentiellement rien \u00e0 redire au sujet du trait\u00e9. Nous nous entendons sur son contenu et sur son importance. Je demeure toutefois pr\u00e9occup\u00e9e. Je sais que le gouvernement s'y est engag\u00e9 pendant la campagne \u00e9lectorale, mais, comme je l'ai dit plus t\u00f4t, le gouvernement devait rendre publique l'\u00e9valuation des contrats d'armement et il ne l'a pas fait.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4192081\" data-originallang=\"en\">Ma question est la suivante: qu'a-t-on fait jusqu'\u00e0 maintenant? Y a-t-il un plan? Un \u00e9ch\u00e9ancier a-t-il \u00e9t\u00e9 \u00e9tabli? La d\u00e9put\u00e9e peut-elle dire quand on pr\u00e9voit que le Canada pourra adh\u00e9rer \u00e0 ce trait\u00e9 tr\u00e8s important et montrer autrement qu'avec de belles paroles que le Canada est de retour dans cet important dossier?</p>"
