Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland\u2019s department says she is \u201cdeeply concerned\u201d that Saudi Arabia\u2019s rulers appear to be deploying Canadian-made armored vehicles in an escalating conflict with Saudi citizens.<\/h4>\n

Ms. Freeland has asked officials to investigate the matter. Global Affairs Canada released a statement shortly after The Globe and Mail published a story Friday on the apparent use of Canadian-made combat vehicles in Saudi Arabia\u2019s violence-plagued Eastern Province.<\/h4>\n

For the first time, video footage and photos have surfaced on social media allegedly showing the kingdom using Canadian weaponized equipment against Saudi civilians \u2013 a development that spurred calls Friday for the Liberal government to halt defense exports to the oil-rich nation.<\/h4>\n

Military equipment experts consulted by The Globe identified the machines appearing in these videos and photos as Gurkha RPVs, produced by Terradyne Armored Vehicles in Newmarket, Ont., just north of Toronto.<\/h4>\n

Global Affairs Institute said Friday that it is now probing the matter.<\/h4>\n
