杏吧原创鈥檚 Philippe Lagass茅 Reappointed as National Defence Adviser
杏吧原创 University鈥檚 Prof. Philippe Lagass茅, who holds the Barton Chair in the Norman Paterson School of International Affairs (NPSIA), has been reappointed as a special adviser to the Minister of National Defence for three years.
Lagass茅 will serve on the Independent Review Panel for Defence Acquisition, established to provide independent reviews of military procurement projects with a budget of $100 million or more to the minister.
鈥淚t is an honour to have been reappointed to the panel,鈥 says Lagass茅. 鈥淕iven my research on policy-making and defence affairs, serving as a panel member gives me a first-hand understanding of how the Canadian Armed Forces maintains its operational relevance and develops the Forces of the future.鈥
He explains that the process begins when a capability deficiency has been identified and a project is established to address the gap. It may involve acquiring new equipment or extending the life of existing platforms. In other cases, these projects involve acquiring or updating information technologies or infrastructure.
Once requirements are refined and a preferred option to address the capability gap is proposed, the panel reviews it again and then prepares advice for the minister. Since the panel was established in May 2015, they have reviewed more than 20 projects and advised the minister on more than 10.
Lagass茅 is one of several faculty members in the Faculty of Public Affairs who have served as expert witnesses and consultants for the House of Commons, Senate, public service, the military and non-governmental agencies.
