“We likely do not need this new defence corporation. Past governments were able to buy military equipment quickly while Parliament watched over them.”
“Madam Speaker, my Bloc colleague’s question is a good one, as it speaks to the issue of whether this corporation is even required. I would argue it likely is not. I agree with the hon. member that it is not actually doing anything, as I demonstrated in my speech, when governments of the past have successfully procured equipment in a timely fashion when required and, at the same time, with parliamentary oversight.”
