Canadian Military Exports, 2007-2009.  (All figures, except for the United States)
Report on Exports of Military Goods from Canada 2007-2009
Published by the Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade (DFAIT), March 11, 2011.

Table 5: Exports of Military Goods and Technology by Destination and Export Control List (ECL) Item

United States
Since DFAIT's above-cited report does not include any data on Canada's exports to the United States, estimates in COAT's tables for the missing U.S. figures are based on statements by the Canadian Association of Defence and Security Industries (CADSI). For example, CADSI rports:
"The United States market accounts for 80% of Canada’s defence exports and the technologies developed by Canadian partners are intertwined with U.S. technology."

Canada's Defence Industry: Industry Engagement on the Opportunities and Challenges Facing the Defence Industry and Military Procurement

The fact that 80% of Canada's military exports went to the United States was also confirmed by CADSI's president, Tim Page, in his testimony to the City of Ottawa's Corporate Services Committee on June 2, 2010, when he supported lifting the 20-year ban on holding arms trade shows at municipal facilities.
