On May 28, 2026, the Government of Ontario unveiled the framework for its first-ever Ontario Defence Industrial Strategy, a proposed 10-year strategy intended to grow the province’s defence industry and position Ontario companies and workers as pillars of Canada’s defence landscape.1 The first provincial strategy of its kind in the defence sector, the framework comes as Canada and its allies prepare to make significant investments in defence, national security and infrastructure.2
