1. (C) Canada will pleased to offer "at least one but perhaps
more presentations" at the Missile Technology Control Regime
(MTCR) Rio Plenary Information Exchange in November,
according to Phillip Baines, Department of Foreign Affairs
and International Trade Deputy Director for Missiles, Space
Security, and Conventional Weapons. Baines expressed thanks
for U.S. recognition of past Canadian efforts to promote an
exchange of ideas among MTCR members at past Information
Exchanges. He noted, however, that the back-to-back MTCR
meetings in distant locales like Australia and Brazil had put
budgetary pressure on DFAIT and necessitated the curtailing
of the number of people Canada could send to Rio.
2. (SBU) Baines confirmed that Canadian interlocutors are
looking forward to the visit of ISN/MTR Director Pam Durham
to Ottawa for consultations on September 1 and 2. He added
that he will provide an updated schedule for her once he
confirms inter-agency availability.
