Notes:
None of these
figures include any "dual-use" military hardware. Even when Canada
sells "dual use"
military hardware to directly to the
armed forces of foreign governments, it is not accounted for in
reports from the Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade (DFAIT).
* Israel is included in this list even though its armed
conflict with Palestinians is taking place within
illegally-occupied territories, such as Gaza. In December 2008 and January 2009,
the Israeli military
killed at least 1,500 civilians, including about 500 children, when it bombed
Gaza with US-supplied
attack helicopters and warplanes embedded with high-tech Canadian technology.

Canadian Military Exports, 2007-2009. (All
figures, except for the United States)
Report on Exports of
Military Goods from
Canada 2007-2009
Published by the Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade (DFAIT),
March 11, 2011.
United States
Since DFAIT's above-cited report does not include any data on Canada's exports to the United States,
estimates in COAT's tables for the missing U.S. figures are based on
statements by the Canadian
Association of Defence and Security Industries (CADSI). For example, CADSI
rports:
"The United States market accounts for 80% of Canada’s defence exports
and the technologies developed by Canadian partners are intertwined with U.S.
technology."
Canada's Defence Industry: Industry Engagement on the Opportunities and
Challenges Facing the Defence Industry and Military Procurement
The fact
that 80% of Canada's military exports went to the United States was also
confirmed by CADSI's president, Tim Page, in his testimony to the City of
Ottawa's Corporate Services Committee on June 2, 2010, when he supported lifting
the 20-year ban on holding arms trade shows at municipal facilities.
