“We should pass this bill. The current defence agency will keep working while we set up the new corporation, so nothing gets disrupted. A contractor in my riding told me this bill will help private businesses work better with the military.”
“Mr. Speaker, the DIA would be continue to operate under its existing authorities and advance procurements while the new Crown corporation is established. The transition would be managed to maintain continuity and minimize disruption to ongoing procurements, industrial industry partners and client organizations. Earlier today, I met with a defence contractor, for instance, who is interested and already actively working at CFB Trenton in my riding of the Bay of Quinte. They are very keen on Bill C-40 to see that this exact piece of legislation would help them further bring their private expertise to work in collaboration with our defences.”
