Montreal's aerospace sector to benefit from increased defence spending

The federal government’s plan to increase defence spending will be good for Montreal-area aerospace businesses, according to an organization that works to promote the local aerospace industry.
“This is really good news,” says Suzanne M. Benoît, the president of Aéro Montréal. “I’m very happy.”
On June 7, the federal government said it would increase defence spending by 70 per cent over the next 10 years, from $18.9 billion this year to $32.
