Canada Plans Limited Armament Output for War
Ottawa officials say Canada will aim for national self sufficiency in armaments but will not launch a large new industry.

Canada also funds 1000 Bren guns for the government, to be produced over several years, with John Inglis designated as the first Bren gun producer in the country to achieve economic production benefits.
