Saudi Arabia has one of the worst human-rights records in the world. Rights group Amnesty International’s 2019 report said authorities there “escalated repression of the rights to freedom of expression, association and assembly” and “harassed, arbitrarily detained and prosecuted dozens of government critics, human rights defenders, including women’s rights activists, members of the Shi’a minority and family members of activists.
The countries identified in the report, which also include the U.S., Britain and France, “continued their support of parties to the conflict including through arms transfers, thereby helping to perpetuate the conflict,” the report said. The Yemen conflict is widely seen as a proxy war between Saudi Arabia and its regional foe, Iran. More than 100,000 people have been killed and millions are on the brink of famine, aid agencies say.
“Direct support of militarism and oppression, through the provision of arms, is the exact opposite of a feminist approach to foreign policy."

'Canada cited for fuelling Yemen war'? Canada is mentioned once in the 53-page report. This is the quote: 'third States, including Canada... continued their support of parties to the conflict including through arms transfers, thereby helping to perpetuate the conflict.'

That would affect SNCLavalin so good luck with that. SNC still has JustinTrudeau on puppet strings. Trudope will always put the hoo*** buying SNC ahead of doing the right thing.
Saudi Arabia is a dictatorship
Has anything changed since Stephane Dion cited his 'ethic of responsibility' to sign the export permits in a $15B military deal in 2016, and PMJT 'gave his blessing' as they say. Saudi HR abuses & nasty intervention in Yemen in play then too.
