Boeing, Lockeed, Northrop, BAE, SAAB, Embraer, Airbus and Dassault, not to mention the Russian, Chinese and Indian players, all benefited and still benefit from protected R&D programs with matching industrial programs. The main problem with BBD, because of the naivety of Canadians and the lack of leadership of the federal government, is that it is a pure civil player with no defense R&D. Do you for a moment think Boeing would be where it is today without the massive black R&D programs which really are a subsidy of the USG (strictly competed between 2-3 US players), the latest one being for the development of a hypersonic platform which will definitely lead to innovative technologies flowing into commercial platforms? Innovations in dual (military, civil) technologies are key to get maximum leverage, but it takes government leadership. It will be the same for AI efforts in Canada. Without a champion backed by the country, my prediction is we will provide brains and IP, period.
