OTTAWA IGNORES NORTH WARNING SYSTEM

   In a scathing article published on Jan. 14, James Fergusson, a defence expert, says the federal government is dodging the need to replace the aging North Warning System, which is near the end of its lifespan.
    “A failure on Canada’s part to move forward relatively quickly could prove disastrous,” said Fergusson, the deputy director of the Centre for Defence and Security Studies at the University of Manitoba.
   It appears as if the Department of National Defence has not provided for the replacement of the NWS in its spending plans for the future.
