Brampton company says its light armoured vehicles were destined for police use in Israel, not Gaza, as Ottawa delays shipments

OTTAWA—A Canadian company that makes light armoured vehicles says its shipments destined for police use in Israel, not military use in Gaza, have been delayed without explanation by the federal government.

So have Brampton-based Roshel’s proposed shipments of light armoured vehicles (LAVS) for federal police use in Bosnia, the company says, with applications for an export licence filed on Sept. 11, nearly a month before war broke out in the Middle East. The company says this indicates Ottawa’s delays in approvals are “systemic.”
