[16]A strong and sovereign defence industrial base safeguards CanadiansCanada needs a strong and sovereign defence industrial base. If pursued strategically, investments in Canada’s defence industrial base have the potential to significantly enhance Canadian workers’ economic security and prosperity.

[1] For instance, Australia’s 2013 national security strategy identifies key economic imperatives, such as the protection of intellectual property, critical infrastructure and supply chains, as being essential to its national security.
