Summary
Stephen Fuhr, the fiery ex-fighter pilot who once sparked controversy by opposing Canada’s F-35 jet purchase, is now at the helm of the country’s defense procurement — a role that could reshape military spending and modernization.

With potential new powers under Bill C-31, he’s ready to lead with conviction — but only if evidence backs the change.
