It's going to take a little longer than that, because we've had a decade of darkness where equipment just wasn't bought for our forces, but we're fixing that. It's a long, slow process and there's a lot to be done, but we've achieved a lot already.
We have the LAVs and the CC-130Js, and we have the helicopters. We're going to be taking delivery of the new Cyclone helicopters next month. That's really exciting, since they were cancelled back in the early 1990s, so we'll be able to start retiring the Sea Kings.
It is our hope that through the national shipbuilding procurement strategy and indeed the defence procurement strategy these Canadian companies will be able to continue to work with the Minister of International Trade and his people to develop their export business. People investing in Canada who want to supply the Canadian government will partner with Canadian companies to fill Canadian needs. That will create jobs. Exporting creates jobs. All of that is really good for the Canadian economy because, as you know, our priority is jobs, economic growth, and long-term prosperity.
We can support Canadian business by rebuilding the shipbuilding industry, by supporting them through the build in Canada innovation program where the government is a customer, by making sure that as we do our everyday procurement we make it possible for small business in Canada to do business with government. That's what the office of small and medium enterprises is there for. They've held over 4,000 different meetings, seminars and webinars to help small Canadian businesses learn how to do business with the Government of Canada. As I said, 39% of our volume goes to them now.
All of these things are going to help create local jobs, create exports, which is money coming into the country and not going out. It all works. We're going to end up with not just a strong shipbuilding industry, but we already have a strong Canadian defence services and products industry. In fact, I think we're about number seven in the world or higher and it's going to be even stronger going forward. We're laying those foundations right now for long-term success.
