On the first point, I want to make it very clear that it is not a matter of opinion or interpretation to say that there should not be political interference. I'm not saying that it doesn't happen, but I am saying it should not happen, and certainly not in a country like Canada that prizes itself on having strong export controls. It should not be. The relevant legislation, domestic or international, does not make allowances for such political interference.
On the question of post-export verification, I think the circumstances and this very experience show the dire need for Canada to establish effective post-export monitoring and verification mechanisms, whether it be through its consulates in the recipient countries or through other measures, and consult with allies as appropriate to establish such mechanisms so that we can be assured that our exports are not being misused and that the end-user assurances are being upheld.
