Although the details are still being finalized, defence sources say the federal government could contribute as much as $30 million to the plan, which was proposed at the opening of the Munich Security conference by Czech Republic President Petr Pavel.

“I’ve entered into the memorandum of understanding with one of our European allies, the Czech Republic, with respect to perhaps acquiring munitions that they currently have in their possession that will enable us to … make them available more rapidly to Ukraine as we ramp up our own production,” Blair said Monday after announcing that Canada will contribute hundreds of drones to the Ukrainian military.

Canada’s allies, meanwhile, fear that Ottawa may choose to invest in munitions production through the Czech Republic while continuing to defer building up domestic weapons manufacturing capacity, said the defence sources, who are familiar with the file but are not authorized to speak publicly.

Defence sources say the federal government’s hesitation about boosting munitions manufacturing relates in part to the projected $400 million investment needed to build additional production lines.

Deputy Defence Minister Bill Matthews said Canada and the U.S.� have held bilateral talks on how to ramp up weapons supplies for Ukraine — but those discussions quickly led into a broader debate about how to refill domestic military inventories depleted by donations.

In his nightly address on Monday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said a shortage of munitions was one of the reasons his country’s troops had to withdraw from the strategic eastern city of Avdiivka last weekend.
