Canada Cancels Ukraine Military Contract
Pressure is growing for the Canadian government to explain the cancellation of a military contract with Ukraine.
Conservatives argue that cancelling the contract risks making Canada appear as an unreliable ally to Ukraine and undermines commitments to the domestic defence industry.
The federal government is refusing to say why it quietly cancelled a contract for refurbished military vehicles for Ukraine.
Defence Minister David McGuinty stated that the contract with Armatec Survivability was cancelled, but he couldn't explain the reason behind the decision.
The company claims it is still "ready, willing and able to supply" the refurbished vehicles.
- Contract cancellation may harm Canada's reputation as a reliable ally.
- Domestic defence industry commitments may be undermined.
