Canada Cancels Military Contract with Ukraine
The Canadian government has cancelled a contract for refurbished military vehicles for Ukraine, sparking concern and criticism.
- The contract was with Armatec Survivability, a Canadian company based in Dorchester, Ont.
- The company claims it is still "ready, willing and able to supply" the vehicles.
Defence Minister David McGuinty told the House of Commons defence committee that his department had cancelled the contract, but said he couldn’t explain the reason behind the decision.
Conservatives argue that the cancellation risks making Canada appear as an unreliable ally to Ukraine and undermines commitments to bolstering the domestic defence industry.
