This may also include developing a strategy, policies and programs to promote, enhance, and acquire sovereign Canadian defence production to better defence itself and allies, as Canada committed to in the NATO Defence Production Action Plan and NATO Industrial Capacity Expansion Pledge.
To raise awareness of the economic and national security contributions by the Canadian defence industry and the national security and economic value of having a robust, sustainable domestic defence industrial base.
Improve timeliness and predictability of Canada's export control regime so that they do not place Canadian exporters at a competitive disadvantage compared to NATO allies.
Modernizing Canada’s procurement processes for cyber, ICT and related emerging and disruptive technologies so they can proceed more quickly.
To convince government officials to maintain and/or improve global market access for Canadian firms in a way that respects Canada's export controls.
Modernizing Canada's defence and security procurement process with respect to the full spectrum of policies and procedures in Department of National Defence (DND), Innovation, Science and Economic Development (ISED) and Public Service and Procurement Canada (PSPC) with a goal of streamlining and increasing effectiveness.
To monitor and improve the Industrial Technological Benefit/Value Proposition policy so that the Government of Canada leverages defence procurements to maximum economic, trade and industrial value, including further developing Key Industrial Capabilities.
To address taking a more managed approach to federal shipbuilding procurement and programs in accordance with the federal government's National Shipbuilding Strategy (NSS).
