Assessing risk, preventing diversion and increasing transparency : strengthening Canada's arms export controls in a volatile world / Sven Spengemann, chair.: XC11-1/1-432-9E-PDF
"The House of Commons Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs and International Development (the Committee) held two meetings in October 2020 on the situation in Nagorno-Karabakh, including one with officials from Global Affairs Canada. In those meetings, the Committee sought to better understand the origins of the conflict, the process by which arms export permits to Turkey were approved, and the nature and timing of those exports. However, with officials citing the need to respect “commercial confidentiality,” the Committee received only limited information. Given the importance of this issue, the Committee decided to undertake a study on Canada’s arms export permit system, with a particular focus on permits involving Turkey. In addition to reviewing the documents it ordered Global Affairs Canada to produce, the Committee heard from academics, civil society organizations, and industry representatives, and received additional testimony from Global Affairs Canada"--Page 4.
