Canadian Military Production

Project Ploughshares monitors and reports on Canadian military production and exports.

In support of this work, we maintain the Canadian Military Industry Database which compiles publicly available records of military contracts awarded to Canadian companies as well as annual government records of arms exports to overseas countries.

Reports from the database are made available to a range of researchers and organizations, including the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI) for its annual compilation of the world's largest arms industries.

The database is not available online. Requests for database information should be directed to Kenneth Epps +1 519 888-6541 ext. 701.

Estimates of charges for database searches or reports will be provided on inquiry.

nation shall not lift up sword against nation; neither shall they learn war any more."
