Details
It is noted that Colt Canada, a member of the Colt CZ Group, is the exclusive supplier of small arms to the Canadian Armed Forces.
Canada has been at the forefront of major partner countries that have supported Ukraine since the first days of the large-scale Russian invasion. We are now establishing direct cooperation with Western arms manufacturers. We are familiar with the products of Colt Canada Corporation and highly appreciate their quality. It is used as the main type of small arms in many armies around the world,

To effectively meet the needs of the Armed Forces, the Ministry of Defense is developing a transparent and efficient procurement architecture, the rules of which will be clear to international business. The function of setting procurement rules remains with the Ministry, while direct procurement is transferred to procurement agencies that build their work on the best practices of international corporate governance,
