The draft decision was adopted by 95 votes to 11, with 14 abstentions. 73. The CHAIRMAN invited any member of the Committee who wished to speak in explanation of vote after the vote to do so. 74. Mr. MARTIN (Canada) said that the Government of South Africa continued to impeqe progess towards Namibian independence and had become the target of increased pressure from the Canadian and other Governments. During the previous week, Canada had come to an agreement with its Commonwealth partners at Nassau to increase that pressure if no progress was achieved towards self-determination for Namibia. Furthermore, Prime Minister Mulroney had stated in the plenary that if fundamental change did not take place in South Africa, Canada was prepared to invoke total sanctions against that country and that if there was no progress in the dismantling of apartheid, Canada's relations with South Africa might have to be severed absolutely. There could, therefore, be no doubt about Canada's resolute determination to co-operate with other nations to remove all impediments to self-determination for the peoples of southern Africa.
