US EditionCanada won’t split its submarine contract between suppliers: Carney
Defence experts warn splitting the submarine contract could increase inefficiencies and complicate infrastructure, with Canada facing a major military purchase ahead of 2035.
- On Tuesday, Prime Minister Mark Carney said Canada will not split the submarine contract, telling reporters there is "nothing I see that would suggest that we would have a mix fleet in submarines" and emphasizing single-fleet efficiencies.
- An industry source said officials have floated splitting the contract for months, as Canada must replace four Victoria-class submarines retiring by 2035, narrowing to two finalists.
- Multiple defence experts warned splitting the contract would add risks, duplicate infrastructure between Victoria and Halifax, and require separate training streams for crews and technicians.
- Vice‑Admiral Angus Topshee suggested buying 12 submarines from one supplier for uniformity, while experts warned splitting the fleet could undermine Canada's bargaining position, as Kerry noted.
- If Canada bought 12 submarines, analysts say it could become the largest customer and gain design influence, though observers predict an auditor-general review in 10 to 15 years may criticise duplication as Ottawa completes industrial benefits and technical review.

Prime Minister Mark Carney said on Sep. 23 that Canada won’t split its submarine contract between two suppliers. Carney told reporters in New York City that there’s “nothing I see that would suggest that we would have a mix fleet in submarines.” “You just get too many efficiencies in economies of having one fleet,” Carney said, adding that the efficiency of being able to cycle the same type of submarine if one is being tuned up is “just overwhel…
