"Departmental Result 5.2 - Defence equipment acquisition is well-managed
Grow and professionalize the procurement workforce to strengthen the capacity to manage the acquisition and support of today's complex military capabilities. We will achieve procurement workforce growth through successful execution of hiring activities and creation of workforce pools. The talent and knowledge development of the entire procurement community will be optimized through enhanced training and professional accreditation of the workforce."

"The Defence procurement strategy is based on a whole-of-government approach to defence procurement through the application of early and continuous engagement, timely and effective decision-making to guide and co-ordinate defence and major military procurements while fulfilling the Government's commitment to better ensure that purchases of defence equipment create economic opportunities for Canadians.

In 2015, PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) reviewed how we determine contract price for defence procurement. The review found that the guidance we used to determine contract price was old and needed updating to keep pace with procurement in Canada and abroad. PwC recommendations are helping us improve our price policies and practices."
