Mr. Chair, the member raises a very interesting point, in that in October last year, when former minister Champagne instructed us to suspend the export permits relative to the Nagorno-Karabakh region, the vast majority of those permits were related to the sensors or cameras that were being exported to be affixed to the Turkish drones. At the time, through our deliberations with Turkey, we tried to reach out to help the Turkish government provide additional information to the Canadian government to determine whether or not Canadian technologies were being used in that region against the end use and end-user assurances that the government had been provided by the government of Turkey, but unfortunately, as I mentioned, the Turkish government did not provide us with any additional information.
