What it does
The Economic Outcomes from Procurement program implements the interdepartmental Defence Procurement Strategy, which includes the application of the Industrial and Technological Benefits Policy. The Industrial and Technological Benefits Policy, including the weighted and rated Value Proposition, ensures that certain eligible acquisitions in defence-related goods and services supports the long-term sustainability and growth of Canada's defence and security industry. It also manages the monitoring and verification of active Contractor obligations of the former Industrial and Regional Benefits Policy. Additionally, this program implements the National Shipbuilding Strategy Value Proposition, which contributes to the development and sustainability of the greater Canadian marine industry. This program supports the departmental result “Canadian businesses and industries are innovative and growing” under the Companies, Investment and Growth core responsibility.
