Announcements
This Government is doing procurement fairly, getting the right equipment for the Canadian Forces, at the best price for Canadians, with the right benefits for Canadian industry.
The Industrial and Regional Benefits (IRB) program is an applied requirement for defence projects over $100 million, which means that every dollar the Government of Canada pays a contractor, the contractor must spend an equivalent amount inside Canada.
IRBs allow the federal government to lever long-term industrial and regional development from defence investments. This ensures that no matter where defence equipment is from, the Canadian economy benefits from the Government's investment.
Please see the tables below for more information about some of the defence investments that have been announced since 2006.
