Canada announces new funding to boost defence manufacturing
加拿大宣布提供新資金以推動國防製造業發展
In March 2026, the Canadian government announced a strategic shift to strengthen its national security and economic prosperity through a major investment in domestic defence manufacturing.
2026年3月，加拿大政府宣布了一項戰略轉變，旨在透過對國內國防製造業的大規模投資，加強國家安全與經濟繁榮。
At the heart of this initiative is the new Defence Industrial Strategy, a $6.6 billion, five-year plan designed to prioritize homegrown production and reduce reliance on international supply chains.
這項計畫的核心是新的「國防工業戰略」，這是一項為期五年、總額66億美元的計畫，旨在優先發展本土生產並減少對國際供應鏈的依賴。
The government is adopting a "Build–Partner–Buy" framework, which focuses on developing sovereign capabilities within Canada, partnering with allies for specialized needs, and ensuring that any foreign purchases involve reinvestment in the local economy.
政府正採取一種「建造－合作－購買」（Build–Partner–Buy）的框架，該框架重點在於發展加拿大境內的主權能力，針對特殊需求與盟友合作，並確保任何外國採購皆須包含對當地經濟的再投資。
Key financial commitments include $900 million dedicated to defence innovation, supporting projects ranging from a new Drone Innovation Hub to advancements in quantum technologies.
關鍵的財務承諾包括投入9億美元用於國防創新，支持涵蓋從無人機創新中心到量子技術進展等各類項目。
Additionally, $1.4 billion has been allocated to the Canadian Defence Industry Resilience Program to significantly expand the domestic production of 155mm artillery shells.
此外，政府已撥款14億美元給「加拿大國防工業韌性計畫」，以大幅擴大155公釐火砲砲彈的國內生產。
By integrating institutional support from the new Defence Investment Agency and boosting venture capital for small businesses, Canada aims to create 125,000 jobs over the next decade.
透過整合新成立的「國防投資局」所提供的機構支持，並增加對小型企業的風險資本，加拿大目標在未來十年內創造12萬5千個就業機會。
This pivot represents a move toward greater sovereign capability, positioning the defence sector as a vital pillar of the Canadian economy while fulfilling critical international commitments to NATO.
這一轉向代表著朝向更強大的主權能力邁進，將國防部門定位為加拿大經濟的關鍵支柱，同時履行對北約（NATO）的關鍵國際承諾。
