Canadian Military Exports to Saudi Arabia
 This is not a complete list of Canadian military exports to Saudi Arabia.  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:
LAV = Light Armoured Vehicle

? = Question marks indicate duplicated 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 duplicated munitions subtotals 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 duplicated 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."

* Discrepancy in DFAIT figures:
2008 and 2009 - The subtotals published by DFAIT for the munitions categories in 2008 and 2009 do not correspond to their totals for those years.  The subtotals and annual totals shown here for 2008 and 2009 were those published in DFAIT's report for those years. 
The subtotals for 2008, provided by DFAIT, actually add up to $55,250,296, i.e., $648,744 more than the total shown here.
The subtotals for 2009, provided by DFAIT, actually add up to $36,979,655, i.e., $20,592,074 (!) more than the total shown here.
