Canada allows private companies to export military goods to Israel

No, there is not already an arms embargo.
On March 18, 2024 the Canadian parliament approved a non-binding NDP motion (vote 658). Section (b) states: the House calls on the government to…
cease the further authorization and transfer of arms exports to Israel to ensure compliance with Canada’s arms export regime and increase efforts to stop the illegal trade of arms, including to Hamas
This effectively means the government would not allow new arms exports to Israel. It does not interrupt any existing contracts.
The original NDP text (before a Liberal amendment) states instead…
suspend all trade in military goods and technology with Israel and increase efforts to stop the illegal trade of arms, including to Hamas
This would effectively imply an arms embargo against Israel but the Liberals amended the motion to avoid this.
