Canadian Military Production and Exports
Canadian Military Industry and 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 Ken
Epps, (519) 888-6541, ext. 701. Estimates of charges for database
searches or reports will be provided. Canadian Military Export Controls While Canada has improved its military export control practice, Canadian military commodities continue to find their way into regions of persistent military conflict and to states with serious and ongoing records of human rights violations. Project Ploughshares has developed recommendations for tighter export controls in line with international obligations and with Canada's official policy against sales to countries in conflict or in violation of basic human rights obligations. Our policy objective is to entrench in Canadian law and practice the principles of the Arms Trade Treaty and the general obligation under the United Nations to demilitarize political conflict. Project Ploughshares continues to engage government officials, NGOs and civil society, and, where appropriate, business leaders in advancing this objective.
