Mr. Speaker, I would like to table, in both official languages, the annual report on exports of military equipment from Canada for 1999.
Similar reports have now been produced for ten years in a row. This initiative is aimed at fostering better international openness with regard to sales of military equipment.
Many other countries have since followed our example by producing their own report. However, I believe that as far as information is concerned, very few of these documents, if any, meet the standard established in our report.
