The Defence Department’s top procurement official says he would like to see defence companies put more focus on delivering what they have promised and less on trying to win the next contract.
Assistant deputy minister of materiel Troy Crosby says he respects that companies are in the business of trying to make money, but that they also need to meet their commitments to the federal government, the military and Canadians.
