I do not want to cut you off, but I am afraid my question is not clear enough.
For about 40 years, Canada always had a rather low profile in the area of national defence. We had our peacekeepers, and for a few years now, Canada has been involved in Afghanistan, in hunting the Taliban. That means that we are at war.
Canada has no policy on defence or foreign affairs. There is no overall planning. How can procurement be done in medium- or long-term without a policy?
