Domestic ammunition, explosives and critical inputs

The Canadian Defence Industrial Strategy and related official implementation sources identify domestic ammunition, explosives and critical defence inputs as a current Canadian defence-industrial demand signal. Canadian production, stockpiling and supplier networks provide reliable ammunition, explosives, propellants and critical inputs, with scalable capacity, resilient domestic partners and reduced dependence on uncertain external supply chains.
