The Honourable Rob Nicholson, P.C., Q.C., M.P. for Niagara Falls, Minister of National Defence, gave a key-note address at the annual Conference on Defence and Security, hosted by the Conference of Defence Associations Institute, which took place February 20-21, in Ottawa.
“Defence procurement continues to be – above all – about getting the right equipment, at the right time, and at the right price, to our men and women in uniform. They deserve nothing less. We are committed to early, transparent and substantive dialogue with our defence industry, because we recognize that Canadian industries are critical partners in ensuring that we provide the most innovative, cutting-edge equipment solutions to support the operational requirements of a modern, flexible military.
