What will it take for Canada to build a stronger defence industrial base while meeting growing national security priorities? On this episode of Markets Plus, Michael Nessim, Managing Director and Global Head of Diversified Industries at BMO Capital Markets, speaks with Doug Guzman, CEO of the Defence Investment Agency (DIA).
Their conversation explores how Canada is modernizing defence procurement, building sovereign capabilities in areas such as AI, quantum, sensors and shipbuilding, and using increased defence spending to strengthen domestic manufacturing, innovation and economic competitiveness. They also discuss the role of private capital, strategic financing tools and public-private partnerships in supporting Canada's long-term defence industrial readiness.
