OTTAWA — The Department of National Defence has identified delays in more than 100 planned military purchases and facility upgrades, most of which have flown under the radar as attention has focused on the government’s problems buying new fighter jets and warships. The list was produced by the Defence Department and recently tabled in the House of Commons in response to a request from the official Opposition Conservatives. If the standard is perfection, will defence procurement ever be not broken? The list of delayed projects produced by the Defence Department included brief explanations for why each procurement has been delayed. “There’s a lot of movement.”Conservative defence critic James Bezan, however, suggested the delays were the result of Liberal government mismanagement.
