PARLIAMENTARIANS FOR GLOBAL ACTION

Published purpose

This Project advances the universalization and implementation of the 1972 BTWC, which Canada has strongly supported for decades; and advances the implementation of UNSCR 1540, which Canada has strongly supported since its initiation in 2004. This project demonstrates Canada’s commitment to fulfilling G7 and G20 obligations to “expand Canadian diplomacy and leadership on global issues” (as per the PM’s Mandate Letter to the Minister of Foreign Affairs); and directly complement IGA’s chairmanship of the Global Partnership (GP)’s Biological Security Working Group (BSWG) and the GP’s Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear Working Group (CBRNWG), serving as tangible and dynamic examples of Canada’s contribution to the G7 and GP Presidencies in 2018.
