For instance, it does not impose any firm legal limits on the authority of the Minister of Foreign Affairs regarding the approval of arms exports. Furthermore, it does not cover exports to the U.S., which account for 50% of our arms exports.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5099586\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Experts who appeared before the Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs and International Development talked about the serious concerns they have.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5099587\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Will the government agree to amend the bill, or even better, withdraw it and start over?</p>",

Par exemple, il n'impose pas de limite l\u00e9gale ferme aux pouvoirs de la ministre des Affaires \u00e9trang\u00e8res en ce qui concerne l'approbation d'exportation d'armes. En outre, il ne couvre pas les exportations d'armes aux \u00c9tats-Unis, c'est-\u00e0-dire 50 % de nos exportations d'armes. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5099586\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Des experts ont t\u00e9moign\u00e9 de leur grande pr\u00e9occupation devant le Comit\u00e9 permanent des affaires \u00e9trang\u00e8res et du d\u00e9veloppement international. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5099587\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Est-ce que le gouvernement va accepter d'amender le projet de loi ou encore mieux de le retirer et de recommencer \u00e0 z\u00e9ro?</p>"
