Industrial and Technological Benefits
Canada's Industrial and Technological Benefits (ITB) Policy, which replaced the Industrial and Regional Benefits (IRB) Policy, ensures that Canadian industry benefits from Government defence and security procurement by requiring that companies awarded defence procurement contracts undertake business activity in Canada equal to the value of the contract.
