The deal's done. But for vehicles that haven't been built, an NDP Gov would review. And if Human Rights violated they would cancel deal.
That was my interpretation of what Dewar said. And the NDP were consistent with this sentiment, since upon learning of such evidence of human rights violations of civilians likely being targeted via Canadian made LAVs, the NDP promptly urged the government to cancel the deal. So, I don't see any issue with Singh bringing this up (and even if it was a contradiction of Dewar's statement, I still have no problem with Singh bringing it up as a concern, so what Rev is going on about is a complete mystery to me).
Also, it turns out, that the deal wasn't even finalized by the Conservatives. It was the Liberals, and specifically Dion, who finalized it.
Canada's arms export control regime makes it clear that a transaction can only proceed after Ottawa has issued export permits, and the new Global Affairs memo reveals that the Conservatives had only approved minor permits related to the Saudi deal for the export of technical data.
It has fallen to Mr. Dion to approve the vast majority of the transaction and that is what he did last week. [in April 2016]

So the statements of Dominic LeBlanc, the Liberal on that panel ("we would have followed an internationally defined process...and it would be done under a proper human rights assessment") are complete bullshit, unless Dion being bullied to give approval ("I concur") counts as a "proper human rights assessment". Singh and Laverdière are certainly correct to criticize the Liberals on this.
