And then Canada went cheap on the spare parts - and said we didn't want to buy the ones that the Brits offered us....so they sold them on the open market. Which then sold them back to Canada at a considerable mark-up in cost when it turned out we actually needed them.

While the GoC is free to pursue some sort of venture with Kongsberg, it has zero linkage to TKMS.
