Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has condemned North Korea’s latest missile testing and is urging the United Nations to take further steps to contain the country’s nuclear proliferation efforts. Trudeau issued a statement Sunday that says North Korea’s “aggressive” missile testing program threatens the safety and security of its neighbours and the international community. The statement calls on the UN Security Council to take further decisive action to effectively constrain North Korea’s proliferation efforts. He has previously stated that Canada would not get involved in the U.S. ballistic missile defence shield. The Conservative government under Stephen Harper was likewise unwilling to reopen the debate, despite having supported Canada’s participation in ballistic missile defence while in opposition.
