After the Canadian government cancelled a military contract with Ukraine, pressure is growing to explain the decision.
Conservatives argue that cancelling the contract risks making Canada appear as an unreliable ally to Ukraine and undermines commitments to the domestic defence industry.
Defence Minister David McGuinty told the House of Commons defence committee that his department had cancelled the contract, but said he couldn’t explain the reason behind the decision.
The federal government is refusing to provide a reason for the cancellation.
