Conservative on Government Orders 2026-11-03

Replying to Kevin Lamoureux (Liberal)

“Mr. Speaker, the Conservatives want to debate Bill C-40 more and more it seems, and I get it.

Mr. Speaker, I have spent enough time in business to know that when something is not working, we do not automatically fix it by changing the org chart. We have to identify the problem first. The government created the Defence Investment Agency promising procurement at speeds not seen in generations, but barely a year later, it is already proposing another restructure. I think it is reasonable to ask about that. What went wrong with the original plan? Which approvals were causing the delays? What actually improved? How will another reorganization solve the problems? At the end of the day, our soldiers, sailors and aviators do not need another org chart. They need equipment that actually arrives.
