审计长的一份新报告批评了国防部和加拿大公共服务与采购部在处理加拿大军队战略弹药储备方面的表现。
A new report by the auditor general takes shots at both the Department of National Defence and Public Services and Procurement Canada over their handling of the Canadian military's strategic stockpile of ammunition.
审计长凯伦·霍根周四提交的最新报告得出结论：国防部未能管理其弹药以满足日常使用和战略储备需求，联邦采购机构在补充弹药方面行动迟缓。
Karen Hogan's latest report, tabled on Thursday, concluded that the Defence Department does not manage its ammunition to meet its regular use and strategic stockpile needs and the federal procurement agency was slow in efforts to restock ammunition.
她的分析发现，军队在战时所需的战略储备并不包含“所有所需类型和数量的弹药”，且存在重大缺口。或许更重要的是，霍根指出，该问题正在影响加拿大的国际承诺。
Her analysis found that the strategic stockpile, which the military needs in case of war, did not contain "all the types and quantities of ammunition required" and there were significant gaps. More importantly, perhaps, Hogan noted that the problem is affecting Canada's international commitments.
审计长称加拿大军事储备存在“关键缺口” 3小时前 时长 “截至2026年3月，国防部认定加拿大武装部队满足北大西洋公约组织（北约）承诺的备战水平远低于目标，弹药是导致能力短板的因素之一，特别是战略储备方面，”审计报告指出。
Auditor general says Canada's military stockpile has 'critical gaps' 3 hours ago Duration "As at March 2026, National Defence determined that the Canadian Armed Forces' readiness level to meet North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) commitments was well below target, and ammunition was one of the contributing capability shortfalls, especially for the strategic stockpile," said the audit.
这份严厉的评估发布之日，联邦官员发布了该国新的国家安全战略，警告加拿大需要“为所有应急情况做好准备，包括战争在内”。审计长报告指出，2024年联邦政府拨款92亿加元，用时13年支持战略储备补充，并已授予部分合同。但按目前进度，仍需数年才能填补缺口。
The scathing assessment was released on the same day federal officials released the country's new national security strategy which warned Canada needed to "prepare for all contingencies up to and including war." The auditor's report noted that in 2024, the federal government dedicated $9.2 billion over 13 years to support strategic stockpile replenishment, and some contracts have been awarded. But at the current pace, it will take several years to close the gaps.
在购买弹药方面，审计长审查了15份日常使用弹药合同，发现从合同签署到最终交付平均耗时近19个月。
When it comes to buying ammunition, the auditor looked at 15 regular‑use ammunition contracts and found it took an average of almost 19 months from contract signature to final delivery.
此外，加拿大公共服务和采购部“未能始终如一地追踪和记录合同为何被更改以延长交付日期。”加拿大新国家安全战略将保护经济、实现军队现代化 审计还指出，军队在拥有弹药时，仅使用了分配量的一半左右。
In addition, Public Services and Procurement Canada "did not consistently track and document why contracts were changed to extend delivery dates." Canada's new national security strategy will shield economy, modernize military The audit also pointed out how the military — when it had ammunition — only used about half of what was allocated.
霍根认为，“有限或取消”的训练活动可能是原因所在，但国防部并未追踪或解释相关原因。
Hogan suggested that "limited or cancelled" training activities were likely to blame, but the Defence Department did not track or explain the reasons.
审计称：“例如，国防部截至2026年3月的分析指出，坦克和舰船等装备经常处于非服役状态，这限制了它们用于训练和军事演习的可用性。”
"For example, National Defence's analysis as at March 2026 noted that equipment, such as tanks and ships, was often out of service, which limited their availability for use in training and military exercises," said the audit.
“其他因素，如人员短缺或恶劣的环境条件，也可能阻碍了这些活动。” 国防部长接受建议 国防部长大卫·麦金蒂表示，增加军队弹药储备是政府的首要国防任务之一。
"Other factors, such as a lack of personnel or poor environmental conditions, might have also prevented these activities." Defence minister embraces recommendations Defence Minister David McGuinty said increasing the military's supply of ammunition is among the government's top defence priorities.
麦金蒂在报告提交后对记者说：“审计长关于弹药的整份报告告诉我们，我们还有进步空间，而且我们正在取得进步。”
"The entire auditor general report on ammunition tells us that we have progress to make, and we're making it," McGuinty told reporters after the report was tabled.
“我们接受并拥抱所有这些建议。事实上，我们已经在采取行动落实其中大部分建议。” 加拿大前任最高军事指挥官三年前曾就军队弹药供应的危急状况敲响警钟。
"We accept and embrace all of those recommendations. In fact, we're acting on most of them already." Canada's former top military commander sounded the alarm three years ago about the critical state of the military's ammunition supply.
退役将军韦恩·艾尔，前任参谋长，还批评了军用弹药工业产能的不足。
Retired general Wayne Eyre, the former chief of the defence staff, also criticized lack of industrial capacity for military ammunition.
他在众议院一个委员会作证时警告说，如果加拿大军队以乌克兰战争中所见的速度消耗弹药，加拿大将在几天内耗尽大部分弹药库存。艾尔还指出——当时——尚未开设新生产线来解决短缺问题。
Appearing before a House of Commons committee, he warned that if the Canadian military consumed ammunition at the same rate as seen in the war in Ukraine, Canada would exhaust much of its ammunition stock within days. Eyre also pointed out that — at the time — no new production lines had been opened to address the shortage.
他说，当加拿大开始向乌克兰提供军事援助时，是从“相当空”的库存中调拨的，并指出国内再生产火炮、火箭弹和弹药的工业能力在很大程度上是不存在的。
He said that when Canada started providing military aid to Ukraine, it did so from "pretty empty" shelves, noting that domestic industrial capacity to regenerate artillery pieces, rockets and ammunition was largely non-existent.
加拿大、乌克兰缔结以无人机和国防为基石的百年协定 保守党反对派表示，局势危急，不能允许其继续下去。
Canada, Ukraine forge 100-year pact built on drones and defence The Conservative Opposition said the situation is critical and cannot be allowed to continue.
“自由党必须立即采取行动，纠正加拿大弹药储备不可接受的现状：包括库存和账目，”国防事务评论员詹姆斯·贝赞说。“这不是一个无法克服的问题。这是一个政治意愿问题。” 除了2024年承诺的资金外，联邦政府于今年3月发布了一项14亿加元的框架，旨在迅速扩大国内弹药生产。
"The Liberals must act immediately to rectify the unacceptable state of Canada's ammunition stockpiles: both inventory and accounting," said defence critic James Bezan. "This is not an insurmountable problem. It is a question of political will." In addition to the money committed in 2024, the federal government in March of this year released a $1.4-billion framework to rapidly scale up domestic munitions production.
该计划包括向安大略省英格索尔的IMT Precision公司投资3.05亿加元，以及向魁北克省的通用动力军械与战术系统公司投资近10亿加元用于炮弹生产。
The plan includes a $305-million investment IMT Precision, in Ingersoll, Ont., and nearly $1 billion to General Dynamics Ordnance and Tactical Systems in Quebec for artillery round production.
除其他事项外，还计划建设一座国内硝化纤维素生产设施，这对弹药供应至关重要。
Among other things, there are also plans to construct a domestic nitrocellulose production facility, which critically supports the supply of ammunition.
