Canadians strongly support investing in domestically owned defence companies and oppose relying on American companies to build equipment for the Canadian military, according to a new public opinion poll released May 21.
The research was done for the Alliance of Canadian Defence Companies (ACDC), an industry-led trade association and lobbying group representing wholly Canadian-owned defence builders and suppliers. The alliance represents more than 200 Canadian-owned and Canadian-controlled defence companies across aerospace, maritime, land, cyber and other defence sectors.
