Everyone has talked about balancing the government's decision, and also the need for industry to function, and the jobs it creates. Again, I go back to the terms “predictability and transparency”.
What do you think is the industry's responsibility in terms of being predictable and transparent? In other words, industries are talking to countries about providing arms and other defence technologies.
Should they also be able to say to the government, “Look, we've been doing this for this country for x years. There is a change in regime, and we're beginning to think this is not good to be used, in keeping with human rights and other values that Canada has placed on arms control.”
Do you do that? Do you do this due diligence? Do companies do due diligence on their part?
I'm saying that it's not just the government that needs to do due diligence.
