Industry Leaders Call For Greater Recognition Of Canadian Ownership
The Alliance of Canadian Defence Companies (ACDC) has led a national delegation of defence and dual-use companies to Parliament Hill, advocating for greater recognition of Canadian ownership and control in defence procurement. The delegation, which includes representatives from several Canadian companies, is meeting with senior federal officials and parliamentarians to advance recommendations informed by ACDC’s engagement with Canadian defence companies. According to ACDC, companies have reported difficulties securing contracts after successful military trials and limited visibility into procurement decisions. The initiative was reported by Canadian Manufacturing.
