Liberals MPs warned that NDP bill on military exports could 'dismantle' defence trade

OTTAWA - A leaked briefing document prepared for the federal Liberal caucus claims that a bill put forward by NDP MP Jenny Kwan would "decimate" Canada's defence industry and "dismantle" defence sector trade with the U.S.

The briefing document, obtained by The Canadian Press, arms Liberal MPs with blunt talking points that call the legislation "misguided" and say it would introduce new red tape that would delay defence exports.
