(OTTAWA) September 26, 2015 – Elizabeth May, Leader of the Green Party of Canada (Saanich – Gulf Islands), issued the following statement on International Day for the Total Elimination of Nuclear Weapons:
“The Green Party of Canada supports global nuclear disarmament and believes it will be best achieved multilaterally through the United Nations (UN). We will work to implement the UN Secretary General’s Five- Point Plan, that includes a Nuclear Weapons Convention outlawing the use of these weapons of mass destruction."
“The first objective of all security policy must be to provide real, sustainable security effectively. Real security cannot be based upon a balance of nuclear terror.”
