I cannot comment on any specific export permit determination. When we look at an export permit application, as I said, we're assessing for risks. The likelihood that a particular Canadian good or technology is going to contribute to regional or international security would be one of the elements. If we believe there is a significant risk that something would be prejudicial to Canadian security and stability in any region of the world or within any country, which is what section 7 of the Export and Import Permits Act says at present, then we would probably recommend to the minister not to issue the permit. The ultimate decision would be that of the Minister of Foreign Affairs.
