I fully understand the situation. You raised the issue of Yemen. However, it isn't just the murder of Mr. Khashoggi that's at play. There is also the fact that these people are using these weapons both against their own people and in the conflict in Yemen. I find that paradoxical. Saudi Arabia is using the weapons we send to it to block ports and embargo the humanitarian aid we want to bring to Yemen. I think that's problematic.
I find it difficult to understand how Canada can take more than seven months to review arms export permits when its partner, Germany, which has major sales contracts with Saudi Arabia, immediately suspended its exports and extended the suspension of arms sales. Human rights are at stake, whether it is Mr. Khashoggi or the conflict in Yemen. I remind you that there are more than 22 million displaced people in this country who have been victims of the conflict.
Meanwhile, a permit for arms exports to Saudi Arabia is still being reviewed. This review, I remind you, came after the Prime Minister mentioned that it would be too expensive to break the contract and that some of your comments were quoted on the radio saying that it was very important for Canada to be a trusted partner in the world—
