Mr. Speaker, it seems to me that we were talking about exporting arms to other countries, so my questions will be related to that.
What is the use of legislation on arms export permits when more than half the arms sold by Canada are sold to the United States, a country that has not signed the Arms Trade Treaty and whose president has decided to relax the rules for arms exports? Does the member believe that this is in keeping with the letter and the spirit of the treaty?
