Submarine Deal Raises Red Flags | Canada News

Canada’s navy is set to get twelve new submarines thanks to a multibillion-dollar deal—but critics are sounding the alarm. By skipping the standard Request for Proposal process and instead issuing proposal prep instructions, the government has already narrowed the field to two foreign firms, sidelining competitive bidding. This move, defended by officials as a way to boost Canadian industry and secure faster delivery, risks overpaying and weakens taxpayer protections. With no clear pricing or specs upfront, the deal’s true value remains murky—raising serious questions about whether Canada’s defense needs will be met on time and on budget.
