In case readers are unaware, military procurement in Canada has all the alacrity of an upturned goldfish. The replacement of G-Wagon light utility vehicles paints a representative picture. Despite launching in 2017, after postponement of the lion’s share of the procurement, according to Radio-Canada’s Murray Brewster, it will not be complete until 2030.
“Moreover, the estimated cost of the program has increased to between $750 million and $1 billion, compared to an initial projection of $499 million,” Brewster writes, adding that if the schedule is met, a relatively simple procurement program will have taken 13 years to complete.
