The world is more dangerous and divided. The international rules-based order is fading, and global conflict rages on. Canada’s Government is focused on what we can control: rebuilding, rearming, and reinvesting in the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF). In October 2025, Canada’s new government established the Defence Investment Agency (DIA) to overhaul and streamline our defence procurement. Since then, the DIA has facilitated key purchases that strengthen Canada’s strategic autonomy. In a rapidly changing world, Canada must move quicker to keep Canadians safe.
That is why the Government of Canada introduced Bill C-40: Strengthening Canada’s Defence Sector, to establish the DIA as a Crown corporation. This reform will provide the DIA with the authorities, operational flexibility, specialized expertise and organizational structure needed to deliver critical capabilities quicker. The DIA will have greater commercial flexibility and more autonomous approvals, allowing it to work better with industry and deliver better value for money. It will maximise Canada’s generational defence investments to strengthen our industrial base, supply chains, and sovereign capabilities.

Expert says bus model involved in deadly Calgary crash considered ‘extremely safe’ - Global News
An expert on low-carbon transportation says the roughly 1,000 compressed natural gas buses running in Canada are still considered “extremely safe” after one such bus was involved in a deadly crash in Calgary that claimed the lives of three people. On Thursday, a chain-reaction crash happened when a transit bus hit several vehicles before rear-ending a parked bus, igniting an explosion that also left more than a dozen others injured. Calgary police said one officer was taken to the hospital with injuries after running towards a bus as fire erupted. One of the 12-metre-long buses involved in the crash was powered by compressed natural gas, a kind of fuel considered cheaper and more environmentally friendly than diesel gas. Buses that run on compressed natural gas are common in public transit and have been in operation for the past two decades, said Josipa Petrunic, president and CEO of Canadian Urban Transit Research and Innovation Consortium (CUTRIC), a national non-profit focused on low-carbon transit research and planning.
