Canadian soldiers won’t be getting replacements for their Second World War-era pistols until well into 2022. Canada has been trying to buy a new handgun for the army since at least 2011, but has continually run into problems.
The federal government hopes to have its program to buy new pistols to replace the Browning Hi-Power handgun back on track by the spring, but there are no guarantees that will happen.
The procurement process was derailed in November, when the Canadian International Trade Tribunal ruled in favour of an Ottawa firm that complained the competition was rigged.
