We know that both Canada and Turkey are members of the Wassenaar Arrangement, a group of 42 states whose goal is to contribute to regional and international security and stability by promoting transparency and greater responsibility in transfers of conventional arms and dual-use goods and technologies, thus preventing destabilizing accumulations.
We also know that in April 2020, the Minister of Foreign Affairs received assurances during a phone call with his Turkish counterpart, Minister Cavusoglu, that pending WESCAM permit applications concerned equipment that had been used on drones in northwestern Syria for Turkish defensive activities in Idlib.
So I'll ask you the question again. Did Canada turn a blind eye, or was it led up the garden path by Turkey?
