Canadian Military Exports to Israel This is not a complete list of Canadian military exports to Israel. This table includes the value of products in "Group 2" (i.e., "Munitions") of the "Export Control List," published by Canada's Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade (DFAIT). DFAIT reports do not include military products that are deemed "dual use," even those products are exported directly to foreign militaries. DFAIT reports do not include military exports to the U.S., although these account for about 75% of Canada's military exports. Neither do DFAIT reports contain any data on Canadian military exports that are assembled into complete weapons systems in the U.S. and then re-exported to other countries.

Acronyms and Notes:
CW = Chemical Weapons
(Because CW
includes "tear gas" -- or other "crowd control" agents and products -- the
phrase "CW defence equipment components" in the above table, likely refers to
tear gas masks used by riot police and/or military.)
ECM =
Electro-Chemical
Machining

Question marks indicate erroneous munitions data
found in government reports. Such duplications occurred in some munitions subtotals
published by the Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade (DFAIT)
in its reports for the years 2003 to 2006, and 2007 to 2009.. Although removal of
erroneous
figures often does allow figures to match the annual totals provided by DFAIT, it
remains a mystery which munitions categories contain the correct data. The
annual totals shown in the above table are the totals that were published by DFAIT. DFAIT's
error in publishing erroneous munitions subtotals effects the "Munitions
subtotals" column on the
extreme right of COAT's table (above). The grand total in the bottom right is
arrived at by adding DFAIT's annual totals, not by adding the "Munitions subtotals."
