This report analyzes Indigenous participation in Canadian defence procurement through defence policy, geopolitics, and technology perspectives. It emphasizes Indigenous inclusion as both an economic reconciliation priority and a strategic requirement for Canada’s defence readiness. Canada’s Defence Procurement Strategy guides DND and PSPC, prioritizing value for money, innovation, and socio-economic benefits. The Industrial and Technology Benefits Policy requires major contractors to reinvest in Canada and support thousands of jobs. Despite a federal 5 percent Indigenous procurement target, defence departments continue to miss participation goals. The report identifies systemic barriers and recommends reforms aligning procurement, ITB implementation, and UNDRIP commitments.
