"[First paragraph]
"Canada's defence industry has beaten out German and French competitors to win a massive contract worth at least $10 billion US to supply armoured military vehicles to Saudi Arabia.
[Last paragraph]
Yet concerns have been raised about selling such military hardware to Saudi Arabia, given ongoing reports of human rights violations, including severe restrictions on protests and dissent, and excessive use of force when disbanding demonstrations. Saudi Arabia also used Canadian-made armoured vehicles to help neighbouring Bahrain violently quash protests during the Arab Spring two years ago." (thanks Regan)
