Can Canada reverse its 'lazy' U.S. defence spending?

Power & Politics

After announcing a new agency aimed at speeding up and diversifying defence spending, Secretary of State for Defence Procurement Stephen Fuhr denies that about three-quarters of Canada's defence spending goes to the U.S. because of a lack of Canadian manufacturing capacity, saying that Canada got 'lazy' with procurement by 'doing it a certain way all the time.' Plus, Coastal First Nations-Great Bear Initiative president Marilyn Slett explains why First Nations on B.C.'s north coast won't support Alberta's bitumen pipeline proposal 'now or ever.'
