The Federal Government had advised that at present, 70 cents of every defence dollar it spends is leaving Canada.
An unprecedented $85 billion investment seeks to change this.
Ontario has appointed its first Military Defence Representative to promote Ontario’s defence industry in global markets, attract new defence investment and help Canadian companies take advantage of growing export opportunities. The competition is on as municipalities court new supply chain opportunities and reimagine the future of Employment Lands.
Join Industry experts as they weigh in on the Ontario opportunity.
