Viewing cable 09OTTAWA453, CANADA TO CONSIDER PROPOSAL TO INCREASE

If you are new to these pages, please read an introduction on the structure of a cable as well as how to discuss them with others. See also the FAQs

Understanding cables
Every cable message consists of three parts:
  • The top box shows each cables unique reference number, when and by whom it originally was sent, and what its initial classification was.
  • The middle box contains the header information that is associated with the cable. It includes information about the receiver(s) as well as a general subject.
  • The bottom box presents the body of the cable. The opening can contain a more specific subject, references to other cables (browse by origin to find them) or additional comment. This is followed by the main contents of the cable: a summary, a collection of specific topics and a comment section.
To understand the justification used for the classification of each cable, please use this WikiSource article as reference.

SUBJECT: CANADA TO CONSIDER PROPOSAL TO INCREASE 
TRANSPARENCY IN EXPORT LICENSING 
 
REF: STATE 53805 
 
1. (SBU) Doug Rubbra, Senior Trade Policy Officer, 
Multilateral Market Access, Department of Foreign Affairs and 
International Trade explained that the GOC initially opposed 
the U.S. sponsored proposal advocating for increased 
transparency in export licensing.  However, according to 
Rubbra the proposal is no longer as "potent" and Canada will 
now consider co-sponsoring the proposal. 
 
2. (SBU) Rubbra commented that because of (unspecified) 
problems with China, Canada likes the idea of increasing 
transparency in export licensing.  However, he said that it 
is not a top priority and the GOC is not sure if the Canadian 
Federal Government has the authority required to mandate that 
the Provinces abide by the agreement.
