“Creating this Crown corporation will take politics out of buying military gear. It puts trained experts in charge so our troops get what they need at the best price.”
“Madam Speaker, I would say to my hon. colleague that it is quite the opposite. Setting up a Crown corporation would take it away from politics. It would allow people who are trained and experts in the field, who will most likely sit on the board of directors, to direct the procurement policy and get the best deal for Canadians so we can buy the products and items that our Canadian Forces need.”
