Ottawa to fast-track purchase of weapons for Canadian troops in Europe: Minister | National Newswatch
OTTAWA — Defence Minister Anita Anand says Ottawa will fast-track the purchase of anti-tank, anti-aircraft and anti-drone weapons for the Canadian military with a mechanism last used during the war in Afghanistan.
"Canada's largest foreign military deployment … is on NATO's eastern flank in Latvia," she said."And our troops there must have the equipment that they need to protect themselves and to do their jobs especially at this crucial time." The Liberal government released a defence policy in 2017, promising billions of dollars in new investments to better equip the Canadian military to face the threats of today and tomorrow after the war in Afghanistan.
"It is critically important that we get this right, which is why we have been engaging stakeholders across Canada, as well as our allies and partners, to inform our way forward," Anand said.
