Pistols for CAF, by David Pugliese; 2020 Sep 23

This small-arms procurement for DND does not look like a model of procurement-system wonderfulness, but it's interesting for illustrating two points:

First, the challenges in trying to balance competing objectives (e.g. maintaining a national capability in an industry, promoting national/regional economic activity, buying at a reasonable price, buying anything at all within a reasonable timeframe).

Second, the power that industry has if they speak as one about a procurement criterion they think is unreasonable (in this case, the risk from having to expose proprietary information to a Canadian competitor).
