The evolution of defence procurement in Canada : a hundred-year history / Martin Auger.: YM32-2/2020-54E-PDF

"In Canada, defence procurement involves several federal departments and agencies: the Department of National Defence (DND); Public Services and Procurement Canada (PSPC); Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada (ISED); and the Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat (TBS). Each department and agency is responsible for different stages of the defence procurement process. This paper examines the evolution of defence procurement in Canada by focusing on two questions: When did Canada adopt its multi-departmental approach to defence procurement, which is unique from a global perspective, and why did it choose to do so? How did defence procurement occur in Canada before the adoption of this approach, and what lessons can be learned from those past experiences for the future of Canadian defence procurement?"--Introduction, page 1.
