| Message | Madam Speaker, This is a very crucial measure to ensure we do not support despicable causes in our arms trading. Though I urge the government to be lenient and only block sales in more extreme cases, I welcome the move to add a layer of review to our arms exports. This issue is about more than trade, it's about lives that could be lost should these arms end up in the wrong hands, we cannot leave room for negligence in this regard. Sen. Alfred Mayer Defence Spokesperson, New Liberal Party |
