# Auditor General Reviews Canadian Ammunition Procurement

Canada’s Auditor General was scheduled to report on October 29, 2026, on whether the Department of National Defence managed ammunition stocks effectively and whether Public Services and Procurement Canada purchased ammunition in time to meet operational needs and strategic-reserve requirements. The signal does not confirm whether the report was issued or provide its findings. The review comes as Canada advances a $1.4 billion investment in domestic ammunition production, including financial agreements supporting 155mm ammunition and components announced in March 2026.

- The funding includes assistance for empty metal shell production and facilities for nitrocellulose and for loading, assembling, and packing 155mm artillery charges and high-explosive projectiles.
- **Why this matters:** Audit findings could affect stockpile priorities, purchasing processes, and future opportunities for ammunition manufacturers and suppliers.
- Contractors can review the report’s findings, when available, alongside the announced production investments to assess potential procurement and domestic manufacturing opportunities.
