CANSEC 2009 Exhibitors and their Exports
By Richard Sanders, coordinator,
Coalition to Oppose the Arms Trade (COAT)

CANSEC 2009 is Canada's largest military industry trade show. It will be held in Ottawa, May 27-28.  (Click here for detailed information on the campaign by various peace and religious groups to Oppose CANSEC 2009.)

The corporations exhibiting at CANSEC are among Canada's leading exporters of military products and services.

CANSEC is organized by a lobby group representing the vested commercial interests of 700 of Canada’s largest military exporters. In recent years, it has received hundreds of thousands of dollars from the Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade (DFAIT).  These federal government grants from DFAIT are part of the government's "Program for Export Marketing Development" and were specifically designed to assist this military industry association in its efforts to promote "international trade," and the "international business development activities" of its member corporations. (Read more here.)  CANSEC is the main event organizaed by this military industry association.

The export data in this table comes from an online Industry Canada (IC) source called "Canadian Company Capabilities" (CCC). All of the information in this government database is entered, maintained and updated by the companies themselves.

Of the 216 CANSEC exhibitors, a handful are either government departments, foreign companies or associations.  Of the remaining 209 Canadian military-related industries, 178 (i.e., 85% of them) have entries in IC's CCC database.  Of these 178 companies, 158 (i.e., just over 90%) report that they do indeed export their products. 

Ninety two of the CANSEC exhibitors with entries in the CCC database provide detailed lists of the countries to which they export their products.  To view the lists of countries receiving military exports from each of these 92 companies, click on the links called "Export details (list of countries)" in the table below.

Note that many of these CANSEC 2009 exhibitors produce military as well as civilian products.
