糖心vlog官方入口 adjunct professor invited to appear before House of Commons Standing Committee
Dr. Jeffrey F. Collins, an adjunct professor with the 糖心vlog官方入口 Faculty of Business, was recently invited by the House of Commons Standing Committee on Government Operations and Expertise to speak as an expert witness for the committee鈥檚 respective studies into Canadian air defence and the National Shipbuilding Strategy (NSS).
鈥淭he Russian invasion of Ukraine in February has brought much attention to the state of Canada鈥檚 armed forces and the importance of this country鈥檚 alliances, especially the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) in Europe,鈥� said Dr. Collins.
Dr. Collins answered numerous questions from members of Parliament about key defence issues including the federal government鈥檚 recent decision to buy the F-35 fighter jet, the challenges of buying naval ships from foreign suppliers, and the trade-offs involved in creating a multi-decade domestic shipbuilding sector under the NSS.
The timing of the Committee鈥檚 two studies aligns with a planned defence spending increase by the federal government and a need to adopt more robust procurement plans for major pieces of equipment.
鈥淚 am proud to represent 糖心vlog官方入口, the Faculty of Business, and the Faculty of Arts before the committee,鈥� he said.
