On the solemn occasion of the 75th anniversary of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki nuclear bombings, it is appropriate for the Government of Canada to take concrete steps to re-establish a leadership role for Canada on nuclear disarmament.

We call on Canada to redouble efforts to promote a serious dialogue on how NATO members can begin to close the gap between the Alliance nuclear doctrine and the disarmament obligations of its members under the NPT.
