End of the ‘boom and bust’ cycle?
Announced in June 2010, the
NSPS has been established to
end the ‘boom and bust’ cycle in
Canadian shipbuilding, deliver
much-needed equipment to the
RCN and the Canadian Coast
Guard, and support the Canadian
economy by building ships in-
country.
Indeed, the programme
represents the largest procurement
sourcing arrangement in Canadian
history: industry analysts have
estimated that government
ship projects could ultimately
contribute 15,000 jobs across the
country and more than C$2 billion
in annual economic benefit over a
30-year period.
