Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The move aims to allow Ottawa to manage defence purchases more swiftly by giving the agency greater freedom to operate like a specialized commercial enterprise. The Crown corporation would reportedly remain accountable to an associate minister of defence for public oversight.
