Canada confirmed for the first time on Tuesday that it will lift sanctions on Tehran and allow its aircraft maker Bombardier Inc to export to the country.
Speaking with the press on Tuesday, Canada’s Foreign Minister Stephane Dion said,
“If Airbus is able to do it, why Bombardier will not be able to do it? In which way it’s helping Canada or Iranian people, or Israel, or anyone, that Canada is hurting its own industry?”
Iran announced plans to buy over 160 European planes last week.
Speaking at the House of Commons, Mr Dion, said,
“Canada will lift its sanctions but what Canada will maintain is our suspicion of a regime that must not return to (trying to obtain) nuclear weapons.”
