After all, commitment at this scale creates demand across sectors, from manufacturing to technology, materials to infrastructure, as well as the services that support them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The challenge for business owners? How to secure the capital, suppliers and capacity to help them scale quickly and meet this unique moment in time \u2013 one backed by government commitment and increasingly available capital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-what-this-investment-means-for-the-canadian-economy\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">What this investment means for the Canadian economy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Defence spending involves more than buying military equipment. Because the sector is both research- and capital-intensive, its benefits ripple outward \u2013 through industrial development, innovation and new capabilities. They touch industries far from the factory floor, from aerospace to Artificial Intelligence. Further, dual-use infrastructure, built for defence but useful for civilian purposes, can strengthen transportation and digital networks and open access to new markets along the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Additionally, in Canada, much of the investment stays close to home. Canadian-owned firms largely rely on Canadian suppliers, so dollars committed to defence tend to recirculate through the domestic economy, multiplying the economic benefit and widening the range of industries that stand to gain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The early numbers tease the potential economic upside. Canada is spending roughly\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/budget.canada.ca\/2025\/report-rapport\/chap4-en.html\" target=\"_blank\" data-dig-id=\"LP-98475-9eb89b90\" data-dig-category=\"LP\" data-dig-action=\"link click\" data-dig-label=\"$17.2 billion on defence in 2025-2026\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"rbc-link-format\">$17.2 billion on defence in 2025-2026<\/a>, and the effects are already visible at the provincial level.

For businesses in those sectors, the demand is only beginning to build.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-light-grey-background-color has-background is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Explore further:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rbc.com\/en\/economics\/canadian-analysis\/featured-analysis\/insights\/what-does-greater-defence-spending-mean-for-canadas-economy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" data-dig-id=\"LP-98475-a9df4b28\" data-dig-label=\"What does greater defence spending mean for Canada\u2019s economy?\" data-dig-action=\"link click\" data-dig-category=\"LP\" class=\"rbc-link-format\">What does greater defence spending mean for Canada\u2019s economy?<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-the-widening-field-of-opportunity\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">The widening field of opportunity<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Canada\u2019s domestic defence sector is, for now, comparatively small in relation to the U.S. and many European and Asian countries. Roughly\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.canada.ca\/en\/department-national-defence\/corporate\/reports-publications\/industrial-strategy\/security-sovereignty-prosperity.html\" target=\"_blank\" data-dig-id=\"LP-98475-c0ad821d\" data-dig-category=\"LP\" data-dig-action=\"link click\" data-dig-label=\"600 firms generate about $14 billion in annual revenue\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"rbc-link-format\">600 firms generate about $14 billion in annual revenue<\/a>, and the vast majority are small and medium-sized enterprises. The Defence Industrial Strategy (DIS), introduced in early 2026 to put Canadian industry at the centre of the build-up, aims to lift the share of defence acquisitions awarded to domestic firms to 70 per cent, up from 43 today. Closing this gap means drawing in more companies, including those not yet in the sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Asked where the greatest potential lies, MacKay points first to technology. \u201cThe tech sector is where Canada has a natural advantage, and we are capitalizing on it,\u201d he says. \u201cWe are seeing highly educated, skilled people coming out of our universities and colleges with the know-how and the ambition. I\u2019ve met a lot of these young entrepreneurs doing incredible things that integrate well with the needs of the modern military we\u2019re trying to build.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Also high on the list is Canada\u2019s marine industry. Shipbuilding, paired with a technology overlay, plays to a long-standing Canadian strength \u2013 one with both a domestic and an export role supporting allies and NATO. Remote systems and cyber security round out the emerging areas of innovation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One thread running through each of these areas is intellectual property. MacKay and Stackhouse agree that Canada needs to be a hotbed for IP and industrial technological benefits \u2013 and, just as importantly, that IP needs to remain at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-the-dual-use-advantage\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">The dual-use advantage<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some of the most interesting opportunities for business exist where defence and civilian markets overlap. For instance, drones built for surveillance can collect agricultural data or help predict forest fires. Undersea technology that measures ice thickness and coastal erosion can, at the same time, watch for foreign threats in Canadian waters. For the companies behind these technologies, dual use means access to multiple markets, diversified revenue beyond government procurement and, potentially, a stronger credit profile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We\u2019ve seen the precedent for this kind of adaptability before. \u201cI\u2019m hoping we\u2019ll learn some of the lessons of COVID,\u201d MacKay says. \u201cWe saw Canadian industry shift to meet the needs of the day \u2013 textile companies making masks and alcohol producers making sanitizer, while tech companies moved quickly to fill the gaps. The defence industrial base is trying to do the same.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Alongside the promise of a dual-use opportunity, there is some reason for caution. \u201cDual use opens up economic opportunities for producers and policy opportunities for government, but it also brings complications,\u201d says Stackhouse, referencing the difference in risk characteristics that may change the approach to financing. \u201cWe need to think through both the opportunity and the challenge \u2013 and make sure a dual use approach is an accelerant for getting more capital into the sector \u2013 not an impediment.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As MacKay and Stackhouse point out, for established firms in automotive, advanced manufacturing, technology and engineering, the move into defence may be smoother than expected. Many already hold the banking relationships and credit facilities that newer entrants struggle to establish \u2013 a decided advantage when speed is everything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-speed-and-scale-the-challenge-and-the-opportunity\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Speed and scale: the challenge and the opportunity<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Canada is, in effect, trying to build at a wartime pace through institutions built for peacetime, which creates a notable mismatch between ambition and pace. The new\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.canada.ca\/en\/defence-investment-agency.html\" target=\"_blank\" data-dig-id=\"LP-98475-f3f94f33\" data-dig-category=\"LP\" data-dig-action=\"link click\" data-dig-label=\"Defence Investment Agency\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"rbc-link-format\">Defence Investment Agency<\/a>\u00a0is designed to move money faster and help businesses capitalize on today\u2019s open window. For businesses themselves, the timing is both a challenge and an opportunity: those ready to adapt and scale can move quickly into an expanding market, while those without the capacity to act today may find the opening narrowing in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As MacKay acknowledges, speed has not historically been a national strong suit. \u201cWe need to get more comfortable with speed,\u201d he says. \u201cThis isn\u2019t only a military question; it\u2019s a Canadian challenge. We like to think things through, and that\u2019s one of our strengths. But there are moments in history \u2013 and we\u2019re in one \u2013 where the world isn\u2019t giving us permission to take our time.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He cites Canada\u2019s exposure in the Arctic as a timely example of where the country has lacked urgency. \u201cWe have not done enough in my view to close the gap in the Arctic, and the exposure we have there,\u201d he says, explaining that active defence is needed in the region, beyond the existing early warning systems in place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-light-grey-background-color has-background is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Explore further:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rbc.com\/en\/thought-leadership\/the-growth-project\/top-risks-2026-remilitarizing-the-maple\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-dig-id=\"LP-98475-fd23dfcc\" data-dig-category=\"LP\" data-dig-action=\"link click\" data-dig-label=\"Remilitarizing the Maple\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"rbc-link-format\">Remilitarizing the Maple<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That said, there is reason for confidence in Canada\u2019s ability to deliver quickly on a complex build. MacKay points to the National Shipbuilding Strategy \u2013 while slowed at times by delays and competing regional interests, it&nbsp;<em>is<\/em>&nbsp;working, two decades on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe\u2019re seeing Canadian-built ships coming down the slips in Halifax, on the West Coast and at Davie,\u201d MacKay says. \u201cThis is a point of national pride \u2013 and it shows what\u2019s possible when departments come together to overcome the friction that holds these projects back.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-the-green-light-readiness-is-the-deciding-factor\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">The green light: readiness is the deciding factor<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If the opportunity is wide-ranging and the timing is now, what separates the businesses that take part from those that watch it pass? It\u2019s a general readiness \u2013 an established financial foundation, the right relationships and advisory support in place \u2013 long before a government contract is ever signed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The reality is, the financial mechanics of defence aren\u2019t easy to navigate, as companies often need to scale production before orders are confirmed, carrying weighty upfront costs. And, as government payment cycles can leave receivables outstanding far longer than the terms most businesses are used to financing, the strain on cash flow could be considerable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Those familiar with high-growth companies will recognize the pattern as the \u201cValley of Death\u201d \u2013 the stretch between demonstrating that a product works and producing it at scale, when a business must invest well ahead of revenue. Public capital is moving to help bridge this gap \u2013 the Business Development Bank of Canada\u2019s Defence Platform, recently expanded to $6 billion, is designed to carry SMEs through that growth stage. Further, a separate\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.canada.ca\/en\/economic-development-southern-ontario\/news\/2025\/12\/new-initiative-to-help-accelerate-business-opportunities-in-canadas-defence-sector-supply-chains.html\" target=\"_blank\" data-dig-id=\"LP-98475-0693d637\" data-dig-category=\"LP\" data-dig-action=\"link click\" data-dig-label=\"$357.7 million Regional Defence Investment Initiative\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"rbc-link-format\">$357.7 million Regional Defence Investment Initiative<\/a>\u00a0is meant to support supply-chain integration and dual-use innovation. But government capital alone won\u2019t be enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Public lenders can finance a procurement contract. But, as Stackhouse notes, \u201cif you\u2019re looking to invest more capital to expand production \u2013 through acquisition or a new build \u2013 you\u2019ll need a broader range of capital.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That, Stackhouse argues, is the case for more private capital \u2013 venture and private equity alike \u2013 alongside the wider ecosystem of regional development agencies, provincial programs, the NATO innovation accelerator DIANA and incubators such as COVE on the Halifax waterfront. The good news is, the pieces exist already. The task is assembling them around a company\u2019s growth strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In response, RBC is bringing its economics research and geopolitical analysis to the executives, policymakers and business leaders working through these questions. The bank has\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/business\/canadas-rbc-plans-deploy-up-c1-billion-support-homegrown-companies-2026-04-09\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-dig-id=\"LP-98475-cea82087\" data-dig-category=\"LP\" data-dig-action=\"link click\" data-dig-label=\"committed up to $1 billion\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"rbc-link-format\">committed up to $1 billion<\/a>\u00a0to support Canadian companies, with a focus on supporting defence-aligned sectors and is building capability for a sector the country has not financed at scale, revising its risk models and preparing to work across the full range of financing these businesses will need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The alignment of commitment, capital and public will that Canada sees today does not come along often, and the panel was candid that it may not last. For the businesses weighing their place in defence build-up, the time to prepare is now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThere\u2019s a green light on right now,\u201d says MacKay. \u201cAnd we need to capitalize on the moment.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To understand what Canada\u2019s defence investment could mean for your business, speak with your RBC relationship manager about positioning your company for the opportunity ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-light-grey-background-color has-background is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Further reading:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rbc.com\/en\/thought-leadership\/the-growth-project\/powering-a-postsecondary-pivot-bold-ideas-to-advance-national-ambitions-in-defence-and-space-ai-and-energy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" data-dig-id=\"LP-98475-d06f14e3\" data-dig-label=\"Bold ideas to advance national ambitions in Defence and Space, AI and Energy\" data-dig-action=\"link click\" data-dig-category=\"LP\" class=\"rbc-link-format\">Bold ideas to advance national ambitions in Defence and Space, AI and Energy<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-rbc-rbc-default-collapsible\"><p><button class=\"collapse-toggle collapsed\" data-target=\"#collapse834a1009\" data-toggle=\"collapse\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"collapse834a1009\" data-dig-id=\"LP-57738-834a1009\" data-dig-category=\"LP\" data-dig-action=\"accordion closed\" action-closed=\"accordion closed\" action-opened=\"accordion open\" data-dig-label=\"Things our lawyers want you to know\"><span>Things our lawyers want you to know<\/span><span>Things our lawyers want you to know<\/span><\/button><\/p><div class=\"collapse-content collapse\" id=\"collapse834a1009\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-rbc-collapsible-inner-block collapse-inner\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This article is intended as general information only and is not to be relied upon as constituting legal, financial or other professional advice.
