Description

Canada has announced the creation of a military procurement agency, but will it solve the problem or add another layer of red tape? Defense analyst Richard Shimooka joins Shane Hewitt to unpack the reality behind the announcement.

They explore the staggering costs tied to military procurement, the history of failed reforms, and the tendency of government solutions to make bureaucracy more complex instead of more efficient. Shimooka highlights why past attempts at centralizing procurement have struggled and what this means for the Canadian Forces moving forward.

It’s a candid look at the risks of turning a broken system into an even bigger one.
