List of Details
Subject matter Detail
Defence Defence: lobbying activities will include discussions, briefing and presentations on Defence and Civil Security related programs. While these will change depending on the programs being competed by Saab, at the time of registration there is a particular focus on the potential Canadian Patrol Submarine Project being considered for the Royal Canadian Navy
Economic Development Economic Development: lobbying activity will include briefings, presentations and discussions associated with the Industrial and Technological Benefits (ITB) policy as it relates to defence and civil security programs. The ITB policy is a key evaluated component of many of the federal government programs that Saab competes in, and as such information on the means through which the company aims to address its ITB obligations is worthy of discussion with the relevant government authorities.
Government Procurement Government Procurement: lobbying activities will include discussions and briefings with the relevant Ministers and members of committees with responsibilities associated with government procurement as it relates to defence and civil security related programs. This is not intended to include any requests for government funding.
