Thank you. I just have a quick question for Professor Waters before I go to Madam Mason and Professor Byers.

In April last year, the Prime Minister and the Turkish president had a phone call meeting. There were reports at the time that the issue of the arms export ban had come up and there were reports that the Prime Minister had agreed to take a look at it.

Do you think that was the point at which Canada decided to approve these drone systems for export?
