Domestic ammunition, explosives and critical inputs

Canada must reduce vulnerabilities in ammunition and explosives supply chains and expand production capacity for components, materials and other critical inputs required to sustain CAF readiness and sovereign defence capability.

• Public statements do not establish procurement timing, budgets, eligibility, or endorsement.
• Every future assessment must remain source-linked and open to editorial review.
