The federal government has refused to disclose the reasons behind the cancellation of a contract for refurbished military vehicles for Ukraine with Armatec Survivability, a Canadian company.
Defence Minister David McGuinty stated that his department had cancelled the contract, but couldn't explain the reason behind the decision.
The contract involved the refurbishment of 25 light armoured vehicles.
