Federal 2025 announcement to increase Canada's defence budget by over $9 billion, raising spending to 2 percent of GDP ahead of schedule, signals a historic investment in national security and the defence industry.
This surge in funding will support enhanced military capabilities and expand partnerships with Canadian defence companies, creating thousands of high-tech federal jobs.
Shifting some of these defence-related federal jobs closer to home in Orléans would reduce long commutes for local residents, more time with loved ones and foster economic growth in the community.
