Canadian Military Exports to the United Arab Emirates
This is not a complete list of Canadian military exports to the UAE.  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 parts" in the above table, likely refers to tear gas masks used by riot police and/or military.)

? = 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."
