Canada may rush multi-billions contract for Boeing, Lockheed

Article Abstract:

Canada is likely to skip its normal defense contract tendering process so it can rush through an order for C$12 billion (just over US$10 billion) worth of Lockheed Martin Corporation, Hercules heavy-lift aircraft and Boeing Chinook helicopters. Members of Canadian decision makers are to discuss how to speed up the order for off-the-shelf U.S. military equipment rather than going the normal way of planning and tendering process.
