两位联邦消息人士告诉加拿大广播公司新闻，自由党政府计划将刚刚起步的国防投资局（DIA）转变为一家皇家公司，以更快地推进军事采购。
The Liberal government plans to turn the fledgling Defence Investment Agency (DIA) into a Crown corporation in order to move military purchases along more swiftly, two federal sources tell CBC News.
此举可能会为渥太华提供更大的自由度，让他们像专业商业企业一样开展国防采购，而不是作为传统的政府计划。
The move will potentially give Ottawa substantially more freedom to run defence procurement like a specialized commercial enterprise rather than as a conventional government program.
这些未被授权公开发言的机密消息人士表示，预计皇家公司将向国防部副部长汇报，以供公众问责。
The confidential sources, who were not authorized to speak publicly, said it's expected the Crown corporation would report to an associate minister of defence for public accountability purposes.
DIA成立于一年多前，是加拿大公共服务和采购部下属的一个特别机构。今年春天，赋予国防机构更广泛权力以绕过已有数十年历史的采购系统的立法已提交下议院，但尚未通过。
The DIA was created just over a year ago and has functioned as a special agency under Public Services and Procurement Canada. Legislation giving the defence agency broader powers to bypass the decades-old procurement system was put before the House of Commons in the spring and has yet to pass.
然而，公共工程部长Joël Lightbound计划引入新的单独立法，使DIA进一步获得独立的皇家公司地位。拟议法案的标题已出现在下议院文件中。
However, Public Works Minister Joël Lightbound plans on introducing new, separate legislation taking the DIA one step further into independent Crown corporation status. The title of the proposed bill has appeared in House of Commons documents.
许多国防专家一致认为，使该机构成为皇家公司的最大优势是运营独立性。虽然新立法的细节尚未公布，但预计该机构可能会有自己的董事会、首席执行官、公司计划和员工队伍。
Many defence experts agree the biggest advantage to making the agency a Crown corporation is operational independence. While details of the new legislation haven't been released, it's expected the agency could have its own board, CEO, corporate plan and workforce.
对于加拿大武装部队来说，与皇家公司进行装备交易的吸引力在于其订单可以更快地到达。
For the Canadian Armed Forces, the attraction of dealing with a Crown corporation for its equipment rests in the possibility that what it orders could arrive faster.
总理马克·卡尼将加快国防采购作为2025年大选的重要竞选承诺。
Prime Minister Mark Carney made speeding up defence procurement an important campaign promise in the 2025 election.
今年早些时候，当第一个正式设立国防情报局的法案提交时，它赋予了新机构广泛的权力。几十年来，联邦政府可以利用四种例外情况来暂停正常采购流程。
When the first bill to formally create the DIA was tabled earlier this year it gave the new agency sweeping powers. For decades, the federal government could use four exceptions to suspend the normal procurement process.
今年春天，政府提议允许最多14项例外情况，包括出于国家利益的采购。政府还将经济安全作为国防投资局（DIA）职责的核心支柱。
In the spring, the government proposed to allow up to 14 exceptions, including procurements of national interest. It also made economic security a key pillar of the DIA mandate.
这些举措将如何在国有企业中体现，以及它是否会拥有更大的权力，目前尚不清楚。
How those measures will be reflected in the Crown corporation and whether it will have even greater authority is unclear.
国防部长大卫·麦金蒂和负责国防采购的国务秘书斯蒂芬·福尔计划于周二举行媒体见面会并回答提问。
Both Defence Minister David McGuinty and Secretary of State for Defence Procurement Stephen Fuhr are scheduled to hold a media availability on Tuesday to answer questions.
