Canada is strengthening its domestic economy through a new "Buy Canadian" policy, shifting federal procurement from best efforts to a mandatory requirement for Canadian-made products. The policy aims to reinforce supply chains and support local jobs.

Key Details:

• Budget: Nearly CA$186 million allocated in the 2025 budget for implementation

• Timeline: Effective November 2025 for defense and construction; full implementation by spring 2026

• Scope: Will direct up to CA$70 billion toward Canadian goods and services through federal spending

    The policy represents a significant shift in Canada's procurement strategy to boost domestic economic resilience.
