<p>Both Canada and the U.S. have comprehensive internal organizational structures devoted to carrying out federal acquisition in support of their defense departments. This study was conducted as a macro-level comparison to identify policies and procedures that contribute to the effectiveness of the respective acquisition systems. The researcher found many similarities and differences in political and legal influences, objectives and goals, organizational structures, and selected acquisition processes of the two countries. The differences in acquisition processes were partially attributed to distinct political and legal influences, variations in federal acquisition objectives and goals, and the relative differences in size of the two countries defense departments. Recommendations for Canada included: publication of a revised federal acquisition vision and associated goals, review of published acquisition procedures, and increased federal leadership in acquisition reform.
