Defense Policy, Canadian-American Relations, and “Canada's New
DO NOT CITE WITHOUT AUTHOR’S PERMISSION Defense Policy, Canadian‐American Relations, and “Canada’s New Government” Kim Richard Nossal Queen’s University Kingston, ON K7L 3N6 CANADA American Review of Canadian Studies‐Enders Edition Authors’ Conference 2 Woodrow Wilson Center for Scholars Washington, DC, 14‐15 December 2006 Defense Policy, Canadian‐American Relations, and “Canada’s New Government” Introduction Over the last fifty years, defense policy has been an enduring irritant in the Canada‐ United States relationship. Americans and Canadians generally, and their governments in Washington and in Ottawa more particularly, have frequently and profoundly diverged over a wide range of defense issues. These differences have included the global policies, postures and doctrines of the United States (massive retaliation in the 1950s, brinkmanship over Cuba in 1962, mutual assured destruction in the 1970s, aggressive anti‐Sovietism in the 1980s, pre‐emption in the early 2000s); the threat or use of force by the United States in world affairs (saber‐rattling over the Offshore Islands; interventions of different sorts in Dominican Republic, Grenada, Nicaragua, or Panama; air strikes against Libya, Sudan, Afghanistan; wars in Vietnam and Iraq); particular weapons systems (nuclear weapons for the Canadian Armed Forces in the late 1950s and early 1960s, nuclear weapons testing in Amchitka in the early 1970s, air‐launched cruise missiles and the Strategic Defense Initiative in the 1980s, Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) and the weaponization of space in the 1990s and early 2000s); and disagreements over the appropriate levels of defense spending and “free riding.” 2 There can be little doubt that these differences have affected what John W. -

P. 148. 4. Most federal constitutions clearly allocate authority in foreign affairs to the central government. The British North America Act has also been interpreted by centralists as conferring to the federal government a wide array of constitutional powers granting it control over external trade policy. These include: section 132, the royal prerogative for treaty-making; section 91(2) which explains the trade and commerce power; section 122 which outlines customs and excise control; section 91(14-21) which deals with monetary matters; sections 91(10)c and 92(10) which discuss the framework for transportation systems and the declatory power; section 121 dealing with the provisions for economic union; and the peace, order and good government (POGG) in the preamble to section 91. Critics, however, disagree with this interpretation and note that sections 91 and 92 of the British North America Act do not explicitly assign competence in foreign affairs to either -

Craig Stone June 2020 Prepared for the Canadian Global Affairs Institute 1800, 421 – 7th Avenue S.W., Calgary, AB T2P 4K9 www.cgai.ca ©2020 Canadian Global Affairs Institute ISBN: 978-1-77397-133-9 Toward Agile Procurement for National Defence: Matching the Pace of Technological Change Forward In the fall of 2019, the procurement theme of the Canadian Defence and Security Network (CDSN) convened a workshop on the challenges facing high technology defence acquisitions. The workshop brought together practitioners from the Department of National Defence and Canadian Armed Forces and researchers from universities and think tanks, including graduate students. The aim of this workshop was to give these researchers a chance to understand how those working in defence procurement are tackling the problem of acquiring high technological capabilities that are not obsolete before they are even delivered. The researchers, in turn, have prepared this report, in collaboration with the Canadian Global Affairs Institute (CGAI), on bringing greater agility to defence procurement in Canada. As the authors note, this should be a key part of the defence procurement debate in Canada once Canada and the world emerge from COVID-19 emergency. -
