At least four companies have revealed they hold permits that have allowed military goods to be exported to Israel since October 7.
At least four companies have asked to participate in a lawsuit about Canadian weapons exports to Israel — and by doing so, revealed that they hold permits that have allowed military goods to be exported to that state since its assault on Gaza began in October.
Lawyers for TTM Technologies, General Dynamics Land Systems-Canada, GeoSpectrum Technologies and Excelitas sent letters to either the federal court registrar or Canadian Lawyers for International Human Rights (CLAIHR) in June and July. The companies asked for orders to keep details of their export permits confidential or stated their intention or potential intention to seek such orders.
The letters, which are publicly available through the court, relate to CLAIHR’s lawsuit against the federal government. The lawsuit alleges that Canada is violating its obligations under international law by sending military goods to Israel and seeks a court order to stop the issuing of export permits for such goods.
The letter from General Dynamic references documents “related to the issuance of export permits [...] since October 9, 2023,” which is the first public admission by a Canadian manufacturer that it has received new permits to export military goods to Israel since October 7. (more...)
