Mr. David O'Sullivan:

Canada has decided not to ratify the SPA until all EU member states have ratified it. I think it is a little bit along the lines of what I said earlier. They are in the unusual situation where having done all of the negotiation and got the agreements they still have to wait for member states. As I understand it, on the SPA, they have decided that they will wait until all member states have ratified before they will ratify themselves.
