According to this article in the Toronto Star, the Canadian defence minister has decided that foreign made products may now be good enough for use by the Canadian Forces. The article isn't very detailed but apparently the CF used to Canadianize products provided by foreign manufacturers. The article mentions spending $15 million to design a new helmet rather than just purchasing American, French or Chinese one.
I'm not sure how much of this really goes on or how much of it is unnecessary. I know that the C7 assault rifle is a modification of the American M16 but it was my understanding that it was generally regarded as a superior weapon.
