Just as is the case for other government departments and for the industry, the Canadian Armed Forces and cyber forces have logistical support issues. They had that problem during the COVID‑19 pandemic, for example.
With respect to procurement in Canada, this requires a full departmental effort. We work with Public Services and Procurement Canada and Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada to make sure that our projects move forward efficiently and that we find innovative equipment.
We will certainly continue to reach out to industries so that they can maintain an open and competitive supply chain and be aware of what the future holds.
