I would really appreciate receiving written information on that. Saying we have a very tight regime and then hearing reports that we are in fact providing detonators to Russia.... That's the opposite of a tight regime, obviously.
New Democrats, of course, have been calling for more democracy in our arms exports for years. I am a little concerned when I hear that we don't know what is being sent, that there is no concept of how they're being used and where they're going.
How many staff within Global Affairs are tasked with tracking arms exports? What are the current staffing levels in the export division? Who among them are tasked with transparency and reporting to Parliament?
It's a bit of a long one.
