Government renegotiates Saudi arms deal to lift export permit ban amid COVID-19 pandemic

The news was released on the same day the government unveiled its federal modelling data on the potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Canadian population.

The government said they would ensure their exports adhere to best practices for arms exports in accordance with the United Nations Arms Trade Treaty , of which Canada is a state party. "Under our law, Canadian goods cannot be exported where there is a substantial risk that they would be used to commit or to facilitate serious violations of international humanitarian law, international human rights law or serious acts of gender-based violence," the release reads."We are troubled by the human rights situation in Saudi, particularly with women’s rights," he said.

"My position with this has always been if we want to teach Saudi Arabia a lesson, it's not about stopping taking their money for things we make here, it's to stop buying things from them and sending our dollars to Saudi Arabia," Scheer said. "Saudi Arabia remains an authoritarian regime with one of the world’s worst human rights records," Harris told CTVNews.ca in an emailed statement.

"We are engaged with the export permits to try and see if there is a way of no longer exporting these vehicles to Saudi Arabia," Trudeau said.

When it sounds bad, they say 'government'when it sounds good, they say 'Liberals'...
