Leni, I read the entire 58 page Defence Industrial Strategy. And your excellent synopsis of same provides the same insight as the larger document and your subscribers will save minutes of reading. Well done!
I actually hope more Canadians do read the full strategy. It’s detailed and not always easy, but it matters.
And yes — there are at least half a dozen rabbit holes still worth exploring. This was my attempt to pull out a through-line without turning it into a 5,000-word deep dive to published next week!
My Readout looks at the industrial continuity signal. The Hansard piece digs into procurement dysfunction, lapsed funds, and personnel strain.
The structural shift may help on the industrial side — but whether it fixes the administrative bottlenecks remains the real test. We will have to wait on future announcements or developments to see if anything changes in terms of bottlenecks
