NDP's C-233 bill, aimed at tightening arms exports, sparks debate over trade risks and oversight.
A leaked briefing document warns that NDP MP Jenny Kwan’s proposed bill C-233 could disrupt Canada’s defence trade, particularly with the U.S., by imposing new export controls and ending permit-free access for military goods.
Liberals label the legislation as misguided and potentially damaging, citing risks of red tape and delayed exports.
Kwan argues the bill is necessary to strengthen oversight and prevent Canadian weapons from being used against civilians.
Canada already has some of the strictest arms export controls globally, according to Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand.
The bill faces challenges in passing without cross-party support.
