The TPNW has the pledged support of former Canadian prime ministers, hundreds of cities, including Montr\u00e9al, 1,600 parliamentarians around the world, and thirty-three Canadian senators.<\/p>\n\n<p>The letter was also emailed to Joly and to the senators on the <a href=\"https:\/\/sencanada.ca\/en\/committees\/aefa\/44-1\">Standing committee, Foreign Affairs and International Trade<\/a>.
