RECOMMENDATION |
|
|
|
Her Excellency the Governor General recommends to the House of
Commons the appropriation of public revenue under the circumstances,
in the manner and for the purposes set out in a measure entitled ``An Act
providing for controls on the export, import or transit across Canada
of rough diamonds and for a certification scheme for the export of rough
diamonds in order to meet Canada's obligations under the Kimberley
Process''.
|
|
|
|
SUMMARY |
|
|
|
This enactment fulfils Canada's undertaking to participate in the
Kimberley Process, an international certification scheme that aims to
break the link between armed conflict and the trade in rough diamonds.
|
|
|
|
The enactment permits exports of rough diamonds to be made only
to countries participating in the Kimberley Process. It also requires
exported and imported rough diamonds to be in prescribed,
tamper-resistant containers and to be accompanied by a certificate from
a participating country attesting that they have been handled in
accordance with the Kimberley Process.
