German or South Korean submarines? Ottawa’s choice will depend on the economic surprise

Ottawa says about the stadium that creates the most Canadian jobs when he decides whether to give a contract for dozens of new submarines to a German or South Korean consortium.

Highlighting the comments of the liberal deputy, Stephen Fahr, the Carney government’s attempts to build the Canadian industrial base, while increasing defense spending to unprecedented levels in modern history.

Utawa hopes that the money will protect jobs at home – especially in sectors such as steel and aluminum that have been infected with American definitions – and create new currencies.

Fohar said that both submarine suggestions were lit by green by the Royal Canadian Navy, and that the option would come to the cost and delivery schedule, and it is important in a place, the plans of foreign companies for local winds.

“They meet the military requirements.” Fahr said in an interview.

Now, FUHR said they should compete to provide “the best economic results of Canada.”

“It is extremely important to make sure that we are motivating our economy when we spend this huge amount of money in defense,” said former CF-18.

Prime Minister Mark Carney announced in August that the government will do Choose between the marine systems in Germany Thyssenkrup and Hanwha Ocean Ltd. For a submarine contract, which is expected to exceed $ 20 billion.

New ships are expected to start reaching Canada in the mid -thirties of the twentieth century, while choosing the winning bidder to influence military and industrial alliances in Canada in Europe or Asia for decades.

Enhancing military spending

Carney promised to meet the goal of NATO defense spending by 2 percent of GDP this year, an increase of 9 billion dollars to the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF).

By 2035, the NATO standard will increase to five percent of GDP – 3.5 percent of direct military investment and 1.5 percent in the defense infrastructure.

Fohar said that his focus on economic benefits will continue with other major military acquisitions, such as ammunition, surveillance aircraft, drones, artillery, and ships for the marine guard and coast guard.

These benefits can come in the form of manufacturing or assembling jobs in Canada, or obtaining the winners who win the civil production in the country.

He said that Ottawa wanted to be “less dependent on our southern neighbor” in the context of reorganizing alliances.

Fahr said: “I must make sure that CAF gets what it needs to do the jobs that the government requires to do. I have to stimulate the Canadian economy in a way that has not already been stimulated decades and decades ago.”

Puriture neck purchases

the Hundreds of billions in promised military spending During the coming years, it comes with a central purchase. The task is currently the shared responsibility of many departments: the national defense, public services, purchases, innovation and the Treasury Council.

Critics argue that this system suffers from projects with competing demands from various departments and agencies, and it has a guaranteed aversion to the risks that lead to continuous delay.

“We need to realize that there is always an ideal solution to our needs and that we cannot completely eliminate all risks during purchases,” said Jail Rivard Bishi, Executive Director of the Defense Association Conference.

Fahr said that the current system is “unable to act in” speed and size “imagined by the government.

He said that the details of a new defensive purchasing agency will begin to be launched within a few weeks, with a new defensive industrial policy created by the end of the year.

Fuhr is located in the center of pressure madness, where officials of more than 40 companies, interest groups have met in recent months and a tour of a tour throughout the country.

“There are a lot of contracts that must be granted in the coming months and years, so it is important for companies to put themselves now in order to display what they should offer,” said the pressure groups Théorêt from the Sandstone group.

“There is a lot of attention and tinnitus around the defense sector.”

Competitive submarines

They said that both Koreans and Germans pledge to build sub -maintenance facilities in Canada, but they depend on the direction of the federal government.

The Union said that Canadian maintenance facilities will be separate from the purchase of boats and will require additional investments by the federal government.

My submarine proposals vary greatly. The South Korean KS-IIII, which was filmed through a partnership between Hanwha Ocean and Hyundai Heavy Industries, is greater than its German Nourouiji competitor.

It replaces about 3,600 tons, while the type 212CD suggested by Thyssenkrup Marine Systems is 2800 tons.

Both KS-III and Type 212CD are an electric diesel attack submarines, capable of launching pyastic pipes and missiles forbidden submarines.

Instead of relying on traditional acidity batteries, both boats derive their strength from lithium batteries, allowing increased sailing speed and long submerged times. Both suggestions claim that their boats can remain submerged for three weeks or more – a major demand for operations in the Arctic in Canada.

The approximate cost of the South Korean proposal ranges from $ 20 billion to 24 billion dollars to 12 submarines, according to Hanoa officials who spoke to CBC News last spring. The cost of the German -Norwegian proposal is unknown.

The Koreans offer four submarines by 2035, when the Canadian Canadian Navy expects to retire the current Victoria boats. The Germans say that there is a possibility that one type 212CD is ready for Canada during this time frame.
