If I may, just in response to your question, sir, under our principal objectives of export controls and trying to balance trade and security, the first criteria that we look at in evaluating any proposed military export is this: does or will this export cause harm to Canada or her allies? The inverse of that is whether this export is a benefit to Canada or her allies.
As my colleague has said, when you look at a situation, it's not just what will be done in terms of international security and whether it will contribute to national or regional security, stability, or conflict. It's also what Canada's wider role is in that particular question.
