Mr. Speaker, the Conservatives would like to put forward a supplementary report.
Canada's defence industrial capacity must be understood as part of the broader national strategy of sovereignty and resilience. As Canada enters a more uncertain geopolitical era, economic strength, energy, security, technological capability and military readiness are increasingly inseparable.
Stated plainly, we view defence industrial renewal as inseparable from our linked national objectives. The first of these is restoring strategic self-reliance in energy and critical resources. The second is rebuilding military capability through faster and more agile procurement. The third is asserting Arctic sovereignty through dual-use northern infrastructure. The fourth is ensuring digital sovereignty so that defence-relevant data systems and intellectual property remain under Canadian control.
A defence industrial strategy requires more than incremental administrative reform. It requires a broader national effort to strengthen what is in Canada's control: strategic resources, Arctic infrastructure, procurement speed, sovereign industrial capacity, innovative deployment, digital sovereignty and operational readiness.
