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."
