PRESS RELEASE
On April 13, 1999, the Senate of Canada unanimously adopted Motion No.
128,
introduced by Senator Douglas Roche, without a vote. The Motion states:
"That the Senate recommend that the Government of Canada urge NATO to
begin a review of its nuclear weapons policies at the Summit Meeting of
NATO on April 23 to 25, 1999."
In speaking during the debate on the Motion in the Senate on March 23rd
Senator Roche indicated that at the upcoming NATO Summit three important
documents will be presented: a new Strategic Concept; a Communiqué that
would present NATO's policy agenda; and a vision statement on NATO's
future purpose and mission. Indisputably, "NATO is the greatest military
alliance in the history of the world and it is now about to celebrate its
fiftieth anniversary. Canada has consistently made a great contribution
over the years and thus it is perfectly appropriate for Canada, as an
important member of NATO, to press for this review. The point at issue is
that nuclear weapons in NATO have lost their military value and are being
kept for their political value."
The intention of the Motion is that leaders will instigate a review of
nuclear weapons policies at the time of the summit.
Senator Douglas Roche, O.C.
