Chancellor Angela Merkel decided to stop exporting weapons to Saudi Arabia because it was the right thing to do. We have been calling for years for the Canadian government to do the same. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5603600\" data-originallang=\"en\">Everyone knows the kingdom is one of the worst human rights offenders in the world. This alone should be enough. What are the Liberals waiting for?</p>",

La chanceli\u00e8re Angela Merkel a d\u00e9cid\u00e9 de cesser l'exportation d'armes \u00e0 destination de l'Arabie saoudite parce que c'\u00e9tait la chose \u00e0 faire.
