Fuhr's update highlights some practical steps on defence cooperation.
The House of Commons roles page lists him as Secretary of State (Defence Procurement) since May. That position puts him directly in charge of major files like the submarine replacement program, so the meetings in Norway and Germany fit right in with ongoing procurement discussions.
Solid context on where Canada stands heading into 2026.
I am proud of “my” MP and “our” SecStateDefPro. I think we can all agree that he and you, Noah, should take a few days off to spend time with your loved ones and not think about anything else. Happy Holidays!
Hope he approaches South Korea with the same kind of enthusiasm. They are who should win this.
Korea has a lot platforms to offer to all the branches of the CAF!!!

I hope the minister's trip to Korea will also include exploring other platforms for the CAF such as:
. KF-21EX (If the RCAF gets a mixed fighter fleet, it should be a mix of F-35A stealth fighters as well as KF-21EX and/or KF-21EA Boramaes)
. K239 Chunmoo 3.0 (Should the HIMARS deal get cancelled)
. KAI MCX (C-130 replacement)
. K9A3 (Army's future self propelled howitzer)
. Hyundai Rotem K3 MBT (Leopard 2 replacement)
. Hyundai Rotem N-WAV (LAV 6.0 replacement)
. KSS-III Batch II submarine (CPSP)
. KAI FA-50 Block 70 (RCAF trainer + light attack fighter)
. Hanwha Biho II (GBAD)
. AS21 Redback (Wheeled IFV)
