Thank you @HLaverdiereNPD for continuing to raise the case of the detained #Saudi #WHRD in the House. @AmnestyNow is hoping that Canada will take action with a strong public statement, as Norway did. #cdnpoli

I asked the Canadian government what it is doing to defend former @UBC student @LoujainHathloul and other women's rights defenders arrested in Saudi Arabia. Canada must act to #FreeLoujain. Watch: youtu.be/qduEm3z5wG0 @AmnestyNow #JusticeForLoujain @NDP

Que fait le gouvernement canadien pour demander que @LoujainHathloul & autres militantes pour le droit de la personne soient libérées et capables de travailler en toute sécurité en Arabie saoudite? Ma question: youtu.be/9VIaNjXRNp4 via @YouTube #FreeLoujain #polcan @AmnistieCA

Canadian accession to the #ATT is so important & long overdue. #C47 paves the way, but major problems, notably the exclusion of arms sales to the US (1/2 of Canada's global arms trade), need to be addressed. #NotTooLate #FixC47 @AmnestyNow twitter.com/ploughshares_c…

#ArmsTreaty members are obliged to issue reports on ALL military exports – but #C47 exempts over half of Canada’s weapons exports from reporting requirements. @AmnestyNow and @rideauinstitute agree that this is unacceptable. /4 #cdnpoli @MattDeCourcey bit.ly/2kXE89h

64% of #Canadians are opposed to the sale of arms to countries notorious for human rights abuses. So why should one support Bill #C47 when it currently has loopholes that allow weapons to fall into dictator hands? /3 #cdnpoli #ArmsTreaty @MattDeCourcey bit.ly/2JlVFqs

Liberals have also mis-stated views of civil society who remain extremely concerned about the egregious USA exemption as well as other loopholes in Bill C-47. Fix this Bill! twitter.com/HLaverdiereNPD…

The Rideau Institute also calls on the Liberal govt to close the egregious USA arms export loophole and to address other serious problems that civil society experts have identified. twitter.com/controlarms/st…

Final debate happening now in Canadian House of Commons on #C47 on the #ArmsTreaty. We hope that the govt will fix loopholes that exempt arms deals with US (most of Canadian exports) and that Canada will become a leader in ensuring better controls on the arms trade.

Well said by @ploughshares_ca
Canada's #armstreaty bill loopholes should be closed, so that they fully comply, and help lead the world in stopping arms that fuel atrocities twitter.com/ploughshares_c…

Last day of debate on Bill C-47 for Canada to join the Arms Trade Treaty.
Do not confuse merits of the ATT with merits of the Bill.
1. We have long supported the ATT and called for Canada's accession
2. Big shortcomings remain in export controls, eg loophole re exports to US pic.twitter.com/hqfw29bDoe

Finally @MattDeCourcey, the dishonesty in your tweets and your government's position is staggering - and shameful. You know the @NDP strongly supports the #ArmsTreaty, fully implemented! We don't support Bill #C47 because you got it wrong. Do better. 7/

Over 33,000 people have signed a petition with @Avaaz to ask the Liberal government to fix bill #C47. A responsible gvmt would listen to experts and Canadians, withdraw this bill, and start again. secure.avaaz.org/campaign/en/ca… 6/

My record on this issue is clear. I have spoken many times in the House and Committee about these loopholes. Experts testified to the problems at Committee. I wrote this op-ed, which I invite you to read: huffingtonpost.ca/helene-laverdi… 4/

The @NDP position is based on the expertise of civil society experts like @controlarms, @AmnestyNow, @ploughshares_ca, @rideauinstitute. All have asked you to fix the remaining loopholes in the bill. Your Liberal government is refusing, for reasons that baffle me. 3/

It is so disappointing to see @MattDeCourcey misrepresenting my position, and that of the @NDP, on Bill #C47 and the #ArmsTreaty. Your bill contains loopholes that experts agree does NOT meet the spirit or the letter of the Treaty. You rejected all NDP amendments to the bill. 2/

Hello @MattDeCourcey, you know very well that this is false. The @NDP wants Canada to join the #ArmsTreaty but to do it properly. Arms control experts agree with the NDP, and disagree with your government on Bill #C47. 1/ twitter.com/MattDeCourcey/…
