Defence Minister David McGuinty says a federal contract to provide refurbished troop carriers to the Ukrainian military has been cancelled, but has declined to disclose the reason for the decision.

The $250 million contract to send 25 armoured vehicles to Ukraine was launched two years ago through a defence contract broker. It has since been cancelled for reasons that McGuinty told the Standing Committee on National Defence he is unable to share.
