Sir,

I have the honour to refer to the Treaty between Canada and Sweden concerning Extradition, signed at Stockholm on February 25, 1976, and to subsequent discussions between representatives of our two Governments concerning an amendment of the Treaty.

Further to those discussions, I have the honour to propose that the Treaty be amended according to the Annexes attached hereto.

If this proposal is acceptable to the Government of Sweden, I have the honour further to propose that this Note and the Annexes, which are authentic in the English, French and Swedish Languages, and your reply to that effect, shall constitute an agreement between our two Governments amending the Extradition Treaty of February 25, 1976 which shall enter into force on the date of your reply.

Accept, Sir, the assurances of my highest consideration.
