memo that was stamped "Secret" and signed by Foreign Affairs Minister Stéphane Dion just became public. The memo seems to be making an argument for honouring the contract to sell weaponized Light Armoured Vehicles to a nation that is known to target civilians. Canadian law forbids selling arms to regimes that are likely to use them against civilians and given recent events in Saudi Arabia this is a frightening probability.   

Let's stand against the sale of an untold number of weaponized Light Armoured Vehicles to the increasingly brutal regime in Saudi Arabia.

I signed this petition and plan on keeping informed about the movement to rescind the agreement, join me.
