It seems that the urgency isn't really there. Following the Prime Minister's famous speech in Davos, I would have expected much more action much more quickly.
I understand that there are certainly political sensitivities within the government caucus. However, take for example the announcement of the Canada impact+ research chairs program. Hardly any research chairs are focusing on defence issues. I could give you a dozen other examples showing a lack of alignment between the government's announcement and the actual work being done at the national level.
