Defence and Controlled Goods

Defence subcontracting, made accessible.

A fully Canadian route for defence parts: Canadian shops, Canadian metal suppliers and Canadian carriers, controlled drawings handled in Canada, and the records primes and auditors ask for.

The route

Everything a prime asks of its supply chain, on one order.

  1. 01

    The signed content record, for Buy Canadian and ITB reporting

    Country of melt, the shop and its province for every operation, and the carriers between them, signed with each order.

  2. 02

    Orders with Canadian small and medium businesses earn double ITB credit

    Our partner shops and suppliers are Canadian SMBs, and 70% verified Canadian content counts as 100%.

  3. 03

    Controlled drawings go only to shops registered in the Controlled Goods Program

    Through a storage lane held in Canada, with the keys in Canada and access for cleared staff in Canada only.

The controlled lane

How controlled drawings are handled.

  1. 01

    Declared at upload

    Every quote asks whether the part is controlled, and a controlled job moves into its own lane before anyone sees the drawing.

  2. 02

    Held in Canada

    Controlled files sit apart in Montreal, encrypted with keys held in Canada under a Canadian resident’s control.

  3. 03

    Cleared people only

    Only security-assessed staff who live in Canada open them; nobody abroad has any path in.

  4. 04

    Registered shops only

    A controlled file goes only to a shop registered in the Controlled Goods Program, and every release is recorded as a transfer.

Canadian, step by step

The most Canadian supply chain you can choose.

Canadian shops, Canadian metal suppliers and Canadian carriers, and a record that signs each step as it happens.
