David Pratt

David Pratt is a former Canadian Member of Parliament and Liberal defense minister who served under Prime Minister Paul Martin. He was involved in early discussions regarding Canada’s participation in the U.S. ballistic missile defense program, which Canada ultimately rejected in 2005. Pratt has since criticized this decision as short-sighted and politically motivated, arguing that it marginalized Canada’s role within NORAD and diminished its influence in North American defense matters.
