Continental Defence Corvette

[Rainbow1910]

Even with savings from such reused equipment, I struggle to see how 20 corvettes could fit in a $5-billion Canadian dollar budget. Most likely IMHO is some capabilities will be de-scoped (or not scoped at all). There simply is IMHO not enough money.

$5B is an incredibly strange figure that doesn't seem to fit with anything in the slightest, personally I'm discounting it at this point as inaccurate.

The amount is like Goldilocks porridge - not to hot and not to cold - an amount that won't necessarily set people off initially but just enough to show that something potentially serious is happening.

Based on the government's Defence Capability Blueprint they only seem to be able to count to 5 Billion. The projects on that list are given budget bands. The upper band is
">5 Billion".

So ....1,2,3,4,5,many.
