Je peux comprendre, monsieur Cotler, que vous souhaitiez fortement faire adopter cette motion, mais pour moi, le fait d'adopter ce genre de motion n'est pas banal. On a entendu trois témoins dans le cadre du sous-comité, et vous nous demandez aujourd'hui de prendre position.

Mr. Cotler, I understand that you would very much like to see this motion passed but, for me, passing this kind of motion is not a trivial matter. We heard from three witnesses in the Sub-Committee, and now you are asking us to take a position. I have to say that I am very uncomfortable with the idea of our being asked to pass such a motion after hearing from only three witnesses. I understand your intent and I consider it to be extremely commendable. However, the Security Council is currently reviewing this matter. Why should the Sub-Committee take a position today on this? Quite honestly, I do not see this as being a trivial matter and I am somewhat concerned. I would have preferred that we table this, rather than having to vote against it this morning.
