Canada-China Legislative Association (CACN) and Canada-Japan Inter-Parliamentary Group (CAJP)
On March 16, 2021, Honourable Mohamed-Iqbal Ravalia, Senator, Member of the Canada-China Legislative Association and the Canada-Japan Interparliamentary Group, participated in a webinar organized by the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) Inter-Parliamentary Assembly (AIPA) and the Parliamentary Forum on Small Arms and Light Weapons. As part of their preparations for an upcoming United Nations meeting on small arms and light weapons, parliamentarians from AIPA member and observer countries discussed strategies to shape policy and build awareness in their respective countries on this topic. Canada is an observer parliament at AIPA and has participated in several meetings hosted by this forum in recent years.
At this webinar, emphasis was placed on approaching the problem of violence related to the illicit transfer of small arms and light weapons through the lenses of the Women, Peace and Security agenda and the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Senator Ravalia explained that the Senate of Canada strives to integrate diverse perspectives in its policy recommendations. In particular, he noted that the Senate has almost achieved gender parity between men and women.
