Récemment, dans le cadre d'une discussion d'ordre plus général que certains d'entre nous avons eue avec des fonctionnaires, il a été mentionné que le Canada avait adopté un projet de loi très semblable à celui que nous étudions en ce moment, mais que l'autre pays, pour des raisons qui avaient trait, je crois, à son contexte législatif et politique, avait beaucoup tardé avant de ratifier le traité.
Recently, in the course of a more general discussion that some of us had with government officials, it was mentioned, in the case of a particular country, that some considerable time ago Canada had passed a bill similar to this one. It was mentioned that the country in question, for reasons that I think had to do with their legislative and political situation, had not moved on it and that Canada had been waiting some considerable time for this other country to ratify.
