House Hansard - 110

44th Parl. 1st Sess.

Context: House Hansard - 110 - Oct/7/22
Ms. Christine Normandin (Saint-Jean, BQ)
Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague from Northumberland—Peterborough South for his speech and for his bill. I wonder if he could comment on the issue of cluster munitions. We know that the United States is not a signatory to the Dublin convention and that it manufactures this type of weapon. Bill C‑281 seeks to expand the list of people who would be targeted by the Canadian restrictions. I wonder whether, as members of Parliament, we are not running the risk of being lobbied by American weapons retailers to ensure that shareholders or people involved in these companies, for example, are not targeted by the bill. Does my colleague share my concern?
