Oh, I think it's mostly smoke and mirrors designed to mislead people like you.
For instance, suspending the granting of new arms exports without touching existing arms exports really wasn't accomplishing very much apart from enabling the department to say it was doing something.
Now, the actual cancellation of the export permits, like Mr. Garneau did on April 12, is meaningful, and again I celebrate that. I hope you'll follow through with clear instructions to his department that the Arms Trade Treaty has to come first, that they have to stop compromising on our obligations.
But, no, the whole history is actually quite sordid. It shows a pretense at actually implementing, rather than dealing with our obligation seriously.
