Federal Government Defence procurement announcement opportunities
Posted: Feb 13, 2020
The Industrial and Regional Benefits (IRB) program is an applied requirement for defence projects over $100 million, which means that every dollar the Government of Canada pays a contractor, the contractor must spend an equivalent amount inside Canada.
IRBs allow the federal government to lever long-term industrial and regional development from defence investments. This ensures that no matter where defence equipment is from, the Canadian economy benefits from the Government's investment.
