Conservatives argue that the cancellation of the contract risks making Canada appear as an unreliable ally to Ukraine and undermines commitments to bolstering the domestic defence industry.
The federal government has refused to disclose the reason behind the cancellation of a contract for refurbished military vehicles for Ukraine with Armatec Survivability, a Canadian company.
Defence Minister David McGuinty told the House of Commons defence committee that his department had cancelled the contract, but he couldn’t explain the reason behind the decision.
Armatec Survivability stated that it is still “ready, willing and able to supply” the refurbished vehicles.
