Thank you, Chair.
First of all, thank you to all of our witnesses today, including Dr. Turp who has now moved on.
Mr. Jaramillo or Mr. Gallagher, either one, can respond.
I'm a little bit confused and perhaps you can help me here. The assertion was made...and both of you have praised the government for cancelling permits to Turkey, but I'm not certain of the extent of that cancellation. Of course, we do know that they're going to be granting permits or are dealing with the assessment of permits on a case-by-case basis as cases go forward, so we'll deal with that later. That said, I'm concerned about what exactly was in fact cancelled, because in a briefing note prepared by Global Affairs Canada for Minister Champagne's discussion with the Turkish Minister of Foreign Affairs following the October 5, 2020, suspension of certain arms exports, it emphasizes that the decision affects “those export permits related to the conflict in Nagorno-Karabakh”, and that no other permits had been suspended. Only those related to Nagorno-Karabakh had been suspended on October 5.
Then the announcement made by Minister Garneau on April 12 indicates that on completion of the review, the minister announced the cancellation of the export permits to Turkey that had been suspended in the fall of 2020. That seems to me to indicate that the only permits that were actually cancelled were any ones having to do with Nagorno-Karabakh, and I think there was some indication in the documentation we've seen that there were applications under review, but not processed in relation to Nagorno-Karabakh. It seems to me that we may actually have a limited cancellation. Would you care to comment on that? Was that your conclusion as well?
