BlackBerry Says Canada’s Defence Supply Chain Expansion Raises Communications Risks

By Public Technologies
  • Canada's defence supply chain expansion increases communications security risks as more small and medium-sized enterprises join prime contractors' supplier networks.
  • Core defence spending is projected to rise from $64 billion in 2025 to about $160 billion by 2035.
  • Cumulative spending is expected to exceed $1 trillion over the next decade, but procurement barriers could constrain SME participation.
  • SMEs represent 92% of defence firms but receive about 30% of revenue, highlighting the sector's concentration.
  • The 2026 Defence Industrial Strategy targets a 70% revenue share for Canadian firms by 2035, reinforcing the need for secure supplier collaboration.
