OTTAWA – Minister of National Defence Jason Kenney announced the first refresh to the Defence Acquisition Guide (DAG) today at CANSEC 2015.
Based on industry feedback, and to support one of the DAG’s main purposes of furthering industry engagement in potential future procurement projects and initiatives, the DAG 2015 has been expanded in scope, new projects have been added, and over 60 percent of the projects have been refreshed.
Speaking to a sold-out crowd, Minister Kenney also announced that Canadian Defence procurement will be subject to the rigour of a new independent, third-party challenge function with today’s announcement of an Independent Review Panel for Defence Acquisition, a core component of the Government of Canada’s Defence Procurement Strategy.
