Paywalles article, but I would hazard a guess we already don’t send arms or munitions and this is likely symbolic to garner votes.

Canada previously said that while it had paused issuing military export permits to Israel, it was still assessing applications on “on a case-by-case basis”.
As usual it was the NDP stepping in and putting forth the motion to do so.
EDIT:
The motion – which passed 204-117 with the support of Liberals, Bloc Québécois and the Green party – also called on Canada to work “towards the establishment of the state of Palestine”.
I’m 0% shocked the Conservatives didn’t vote to stop sending arms to Israel.
