U.N. Treaty on The Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons.
The St. Basil's Mission and Social Justice Committee has joined with many other church and peace groups in calling on the Canadian Government to sign and ratify this treaty. The Vatican has already done so. Parishioners are invited to sign the following petition to the House of Commons:
Petition to the House of Commons in Parliament assembled (Petition e-1402)

Nuclear weapons are the only weapons of mass destruction not yet prohibited by international agreement
We, the undersigned, residents of Canada, call upon the Government of Canada to sign and ratify the United Nations Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons.
