Not really sure how the Iltis could claim that: the LSVW was built 9 years later and was also a canadianised European model, as was the HLVW (although less Canadianised, and unlike the Iltis and LSVW, is a success).

To me the Iltis and the LSVW represent the dark days of the 80s and 90s, where we were turned into an austere (read cheap) army that went into war like situations in soft skin B vehicles with little regard for the lives of the crew members in them, rather than some milestone in Canadian military production history.
