Tackling the illicit trade in weapons is essential for the protection of people and of human rights. Bill <a data-HoCid=\"8886296\" href=\"/bills/42-1/C-47/\" title=\"An Act to amend the Export and Import Permits Act and the Criminal Code (amendments permitting the accession to the Arms Trade Treaty and other amendments)\">C-47</a> would put into regulations the criteria that must be considered before authorizing export permits. As with all regulations, all Canadians will be able to provide input into developing these criteria.</p>",

Pour prot\u00e9ger les gens et les droits de la personne, il faut \u00e9radiquer le commerce illicite d'armes. Le projet de loi <a data-HoCid=\"8886296\" href=\"/bills/42-1/C-47/\" title=\"An Act to amend the Export and Import Permits Act and the Criminal Code (amendments permitting the accession to the Arms Trade Treaty and other amendments)\">C-47</a> inscrirait dans un r\u00e8glement les crit\u00e8res dont il faudra tenir compte avant de d\u00e9livrer une licence d'exportation. Comme pour tous les r\u00e8glements, les Canadiens pourront donner leur avis sur les futurs crit\u00e8res.</p>"
