    It is a mystery to me how Canada's #militaryprocurement system can be so broken. It's also dangerous for our troops and wasteful of taxpayer dollars.

      The British Army had this exact same problem in 2011. They fixed it for a fraction of the cost in only two years

      @mpjgregoire yea the procurement system is set up pretty strangely.

      my sources close to the mil procurement process say it's equally as frustrating and drawn out as the public sees it, they wish they could pull the trigger on stuff without all the bureaucracy.
