Thanks to everyone who came out that night and supported the campaign. Turn out was pretty good considering we had no idea what to expect. we collect just over 50 signatures to add to the million faces petition.

I just received word a few days ago that the Foreign Affairs Minister has signed off, on a very positive mandate for Canada's negotiators in the UN talks, including all 7 priority areas -national regulations, transfers, misuse, stockpile management, demand assistance and cooperation, follow-op process (interaccessional). In addition, Ken Epps of Project Ploughsares has been invited to be part of the government delegation to the UN Conference.

So a huge congratulations to all Control Arms Campaigners. our efforts and the pressure we put them through has paid off!!

Please continue to urge people to sign the million faces petition. The campaign will be cancelled if a treaty isn't signed and we'll have to start from scratch. so if you haven't already DO IT!!
