Government ‍of ​Canada Invests $186 Million to Accelerate “Buy canadian” Procurement⁢ shift

The Government ​of Canada is reinforcing​ its commitment to domestic economic growth with a significant investment to ‌fully implement its new Buy Canadian Policy. Building on a strategy to bolster Canadian industries‍ and jobs amidst evolving global trade dynamics, the initiative aims to prioritize​ Canadian-made products and services in federal procurement.

Announced initially by Prime Minister Mark Carney in September, the Buy Canadian Policy represents a ‌shift from a “best efforts” approach to a focused objective of sourcing domestically. Today,Minister of Artificial Intelligence and Digital Innovation,and Minister responsible for FedDev Ontario,the Honourable‍ Evan⁢ Solomon,detailed $186 million in new funding allocated through Budget 2025 to ensure the policy’s⁣ accomplished⁢ rollout.

“We ⁣are deliberately choosing to invest in canada, in‌ Canadian workers, and ‍in Canadian innovation,”‍ stated Minister Solomon. “This funding will build capacity within our domestic supply ‍chains, streamline access for Canadian businesses, and ensure that federal dollars circulate within our economy, creating lasting benefits for ‌communities across​ the country.”

The Budget 2025 investment includes:

* $105.9 million allocated to Public Services and Procurement Canada and the Treasury Board Secretariat over ​the next three to five years to facilitate the policy’s implementation across all federal departments, agencies, and ​Crown corporations. This includes‍ organizations like​ VIA Rail and Alto, the entity overseeing‍ the Toronto-Québec City high-speed rail project.
* ⁢ $79.9 million dedicated to⁢ Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada to expand the Small and Medium‍ Business Procurement Program. This program will establish specialized procurement pathways and provide dedicated support to help⁢ Canadian SMEs navigate the federal contracting process‌ and compete effectively.

The Buy Canadian ‌Policy officially takes effect this month, with an initial focus⁤ on key sectors including defense, construction, and other strategically significant procurements. Full implementation ‍across⁤ all federal spending streams,including infrastructure projects,is slated for spring 2026. The ⁣government projects this policy will direct​ up to⁢ $70 billion in public investment towards Canadian-made goods and services.

The government views this policy as ‍a cornerstone‌ of its broader nation-building agenda, focused on​ strengthening Canada’s infrastructure, modernizing its defence industry, and increasing housing availability. By prioritizing Canadian businesses, the government aims to⁤ create⁣ high-quality jobs and foster long-term economic prosperity for all Canadians.
