"Canada First" Defence Procurement - New Strategic & Tactical Airlift Fleets
Well the Indians could learn a thing or two from Canadians. When you say you are going to buy something, you do it. You don't go to the press every now and then and tell them you are buying something. Anyway, Canadians have released their requirements for four strategic and seventeen tactical lift aircraft.

While no supplier was identified for the strategic lift aircraft, Airbus identified Boeing as Canada's preferred supplier. Airbus said in a statement that it was "disappointed" by the decision to buy C-17s.
