Looks like Defence dropped the original vendor (thanks Bonza for the clarification, I wrote the original in haste) $300M upgrade to make ASLAVs (wheeled AFV) more resistant to roadside bombs.

Reasons given were that the Canadian vendor oversold the upgrade process. Defence will now look at a fix inspired by the USMC.
