The Government of Canada is committed to building ships for the Royal Canadian Navy (RCN) and Canadian Coast Guard (CCG) in Canada, and to supporting the Canadian shipbuilding industry and revitalizing Canadian shipyards. The National Shipbuilding Procurement Strategy (NSPS) – the largest procurement sourcing arrangement in Canadian history – will create thousands of high–value jobs across Canada and will have significant economic benefits for shipbuilding and related industries. Through this strategy, Canada will replace, and in some cases, enhance the capability of the current surface fleets of the RCN and the CCG.
