Ottawa Overhauls Defence Procurement With New Crown Corporation
The Liberal government has introduced new legislation to turn the Defence Investment Agency into a Crown corporation, aiming to overhaul defence procurement. The agency will have more independence, a new board of directors, and the ability to make decisions more quickly. The move is part of the government’s effort to meet its NATO commitment of spending 3.5 per cent of GDP on defence by 2035. This report was first published by The Canadian Press.
