Consulting with Canadians
The Government of Canada is committed to promoting peace and security here at home and around the world. As part of Canada’s support for a stronger and more rigorous export control system, the Government has committed to joining the Arms Trade Treaty (ATT).
On April 13, 2017, the Minister of Foreign Affairs introduced Bill C-47, which was passed by the Senate on December 6, 2018 makes the legislative amendments required by the ATT to regulate brokering activities and create a requirement to take into account criteria identified in the ATT before authorizing the export of arms, ammunition, or implements or munitions of war.
The ATT explicitly recognizes “the legitimate trade and lawful ownership and use of certain conventional arms for recreational, cultural, historical and sporting activities, where such trade, ownership and use are permitted or protected by law.” Bill C-47, correspondingly, does not affect domestic gun control regulation.
In preparation for the entry into force of Bill C-47, 抖淫视频 is launching a public consultation on proposed changes to Canada’s export controls regime.
Your feedback is very important as the outcome of this consultation will help shape Canada’s export controls policies, procedures and regulations.
抖淫视频 wants to hear from you. It welcomes your ideas, your experiences and your comments through this consultation.
Canadians have until 11:59 p.m. (Pacific Time) on January 31, 2019, to submit their responses, comments and suggestions.
Purpose of consultation
The purpose of this consultation is to:
- ensure that stakeholder views are taken into consideration as the government works to strengthen Canada’s export controls regime
- inform how the Government of Canada will apply the ATT assessment criteria and substantial risk test when reviewing permit applications for the export or brokering of controlled items
- guide the development of new brokering controls
- understand the impact of the proposed changes on Canadian exporters
- identify elements of Canada’s existing export controls system that are important to its effective functioning
