With just over a decade left until the Canadian Navy needs new submarines, a lack of domestic capacity means the replacement for the Victoria-class warships will almost certainly be an off-the-shelf foreign build, say defence experts. In July, Defence Minister Bill Blair announced that Canada would be purchasing “up to” 12 submarines to replace its current fleet of Victoria-class submarines.
If a foreign-built submarine is to be purchased by Canada, one outstanding question will be over how the procurement—which could likely be the most expensive in Canadian military history—will benefit the Canadian economy. Canada mandates an arcane system of industrial and technological benefits for any defence procurement over $100-million. The provision sets out that winners of any such bids will “undertake business activity in Canada equal to the value of the contracts they have won.
