Canada’s selection as home to the new Defence, Security and Resilience Bank affirms our country’s credibility with its allies and its leadership at a time when defence, security and economic resilience is critical.    

Nova Scotia was one of the first to raise our hand in support of Canada’s bid. 

This should not surprise anyone. We are Canada’s proud defence leader, and we are ready and prepared to lead. 

Our province is a province of firsts. And we are a province that makes things happen. 

Nova Scotia is first when it comes to defence. We have the highest defence spending per capita and are home to the country’s largest naval base.
