Except that's not actually the case.
I guess should have said "mostly suspended" - but wow, that's quite a glaring loophole.
In particular, there's no reporting requirements - so it's not even possible to tell how much of what got moved under the loophole, so we don't know if it was just a $60 drop in the bucket or if say the vast majority of arms exports are moving via the loophole now.
Shit like this is why the leaders in Arab communities are refusing to even meet with Trudeau. It's become abundantly clear that a lot of progressives in our Parliament are only progressives when it's politically convenient to be.
That might be a tad harsh - I'm sure that now progressive lawmakers have been made aware of the loophole by the news article that they are working on laws to fix it (previously they may have assumed that companies would just act in good faith in doing the right thing here, or failing that, that the US wouldn't send arms over to a country found to have plausibly committed genocide).
Alas, that process is quite slow, so I am currently putting my hopes on the lawsuit mentioned in your article. Hopefully the courts will decide to apply the brakes until a legislative fix can be made.
I hope I'm not being too optimistic here.
I wouldn't give them the benefit of the doubt personally. The only political leader who has actually said anything substantitive regarding Israel's actions was Singh. If you're a political figure and you can't even publicly condemn another countries war crimes and say that we won't stand for it, then to me you're complicit.
