Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of Foreign Affairs and concerns military sales to Saudi Arabia.
As we know, Canada is obliged to screen any military sales to a country whose government has a persistent record of serious violations of the human rights of its citizens. Canada must in fact receive assurances “that there is no reasonable risk that the goods might be used against the civilian population.”
Have those assurances been asked for, and have they been received by Canada?
