Our thinking

Canada’s defence investment

Canada’s new defence industrial strategy signals a structural shift in how the country procures, partners, and builds sovereign capability. It responds directly to long-standing procurement friction, supply chain exposure, and innovation lag.

Modernizing national defence without losing mission focus

Canada is increasing investment in defence and security. But what must the Department of National Defence (DND) and the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) prioritize to ensure this surge in funding delivers lasting capability, resilience, and strategic advantage?

Strengthening the defence supply chain

Logistics plays a critical role in Canada’s military readiness and operational effectiveness. Effective logistics depends on a strong defence supply chain that comprises national defence industrial base and global suppliers. Yet Canada’s defence sector faces unprecedented supply chain risks in today’s fast-changing geopolitical landscape. Unchecked, these risks can cause disruptions, program delays, cost overruns, and sustainment issues that can hinder Canada’s defence readiness.

Remote operations? Aging equipment? No problem

The military base in Alert, Nunavut. Troop deployments to conflict zones around the world. Unexpected increases in operational needs depleting stock levels of aging equipment that’s no longer supported by its manufacturer.
Perspective

In pursuit of climate change resilience and response

There’s one challenge facing Canada’s security and justice sector that transcends all industries and society as a whole. And its effects are showing up with increasing magnitude and frequency.
Perspective

Operations and opportunities in command and control

The digitalization sweeping across the Government of Canada gets a little tricky when it comes to national security and defence. All efforts must meet the requirements of both the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) and the Department of National Defence (DND)—and, while interconnected, the CAF has distinct military needs.
Perspective

In pursuit of next-era community safety and well-being

From public health to policing, it’s time to ditch the old handbook and look at the data—as well as to each other.
Perspective

In pursuit of equitable access to justice

How well does the justice system serve you? We all have a different answer to that question—that’s the problem. It’s time to build a more efficient system, but an equitable one, too.
