The Trudeau government will cease future arms exports to Israel even though a motion passed Monday by the House of Commons that called for such action is non-binding, says Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly.
“It is a real thing,” said Joly, speaking to the Star briefly on the morning after a majority of Liberal MPs and cabinet voted in support of a modified NDP resolution that some Jewish groups say undermines Israel’s right to defend itself against Hamas.
The controversial multi-pronged resolution sought to toughen Canada’s stance on the Middle East conflict.
this doesn’t read like “none for 30 years” https://www.cjpme.org/ and this mentions 315 export permits https://amnesty.ca/blog/stop-arms-sales-fueling-conflict-in-israel-and-the-occupied-palestinian-territories/

The categories are admittedly a bit too broad for my liking but most of it seems to be electronics and components, which from what I can tell are not mentioned in this motion.
And even if these permits are also frozen, let’s be realistic here, if Israel needs weapon components they can very easily find another vendor outside of Canada or use middlemen. If Russia can do it so can they.
