Liberal Leader Mark Carney has promised to overhaul defence procurement to support Canadian sovereignty and domestic industry, while Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre pledged to restore consecutive sentences for multiple counts of murder, on day 23 of the election campaign.
Carney made the defence procurement announcement at a campaign stop in Dorval, Que., on April 14, saying that threats to Canada’s sovereignty “are multiplying,” and that a new Liberal government would boost national defence as well as the domestic industry.
