Government's narrative on progress
Legislation to accede to the Arms Trade Treaty (ATT) and further strengthen Canada’s export control regime, including by providing greater transparency and accountability in public reporting, received Royal Assent on December 13, 2018. Following the coming into force of Bill C-47, the legislative changes to the *Export and Import Permits Act* along with the additional regulatory changes being proposed, will come into effect. Once all legislation and regulations are in place, the Minister of Foreign Affairs will have to obtain an Order in Council authorizing Canada to accede to the ATT.
