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.
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.
