Canadian Defence Companies Push For Domestic Ownership Recognition
Canada’s defence industry is urging the government to reform its procurement policies to better recognize domestic ownership and control, and to speed up the contracting process. The Alliance of Canadian Defence Companies, representing approximately 200 Canadian-owned and controlled defence and dual-use companies, is bringing these proposals to federal officials and parliamentarians. The industry argues that more predictable orders would help turn rising defence spending into investment, jobs, and production capacity in Canada. This development was first reported by Defence Industry Europe.
