In anticipation of the forthcoming defence policy update, a panel of experts, including Dr. David Perry, Ross Fetterly, Charles Davies (Ret'd), Alan Williams, and Dr. Philippe Lagassé, delve into an extensive examination of Canada's defence landscape. They begin by providing a thorough overview of Canada's Strong, Secure, Engaged (SSE) defence policy, shedding light on its development, funding, and consequential impact.

The discussion then shifts to expectations for the upcoming defence policy update, emphasizing the critical need for NORAD modernization, fulfillment of NATO commitments, and the imperative of agile implementation. Finally, the panel addresses the persistent challenges inherent in Canada's defence procurement system, underscoring the significance of long-term planning, enhanced risk tolerance, and greater transparency.

Recommendations include adopting conservative cost estimates, integrating the planning process, rigorously allocating funds, offering flexibility in capability options, managing realistic expectations, and promoting transparency in procurement. These insights underscore the importance of fiscal prudence, long-term planning, and open communication in shaping Canada's defence strategy and addressing its evolving security needs.
