Canada Cancels Military Contract with Ukraine
The Canadian government has cancelled a contract for refurbished military vehicles for Ukraine, sparking concerns about the country's reliability as an ally.
According to the Conservatives, this cancellation may undermine Canada's commitments to strengthening its domestic defence industry and make it appear as an unreliable ally to Ukraine.
Defence Minister David McGuinty told the House of Commons defence committee that his department had cancelled the contract with Armatec Survivability, but said he couldn’t explain the reason behind the decision.
The company involved, Armatec Survivability, claims it is still "ready, willing and able to supply" the vehicles, despite the contract's cancellation.
The federal government's refusal to provide a reason for the cancellation has led to growing pressure for an explanation.
