Katie McGowan
CEO, Songhees Development Corporation
"SDC entered this partnership with TKMS as a strategic business decision rooted in long-term value creation, strong governance, and shared accountability. Through CPSP, we are helping to establish a new, execution-focused model for pan-Canadian Indigenous economic partnership — structured, commercially disciplined, and built to deliver measurable outcomes in capacity building and industrial growth. TKMS has distinguished itself by engaging Indigenous partners early and transparently, with a clear commitment to meaningful participation — not symbolic inclusion. SDC brings proven expertise in economic development, complex Indigenous-industry partnerships, and rigorous project oversight to help ensure the Canadian Patrol Submarine Project delivers lasting results for Canada. Together, we are proud to be advancing a governance framework that embeds authentic Indigenous participation in a way that strengthens Canada’s industrial base, enhances supply chain resilience, and generates long-term economic prosperity."

Vice President, Operations, Des Nedhe Group Defence
“On a program of this magnitude, delivery-readiness means being positioned to contribute from day one, as part of the program’s core structure. When Nation-owned defence companies are engaged early, we can help translate ITB & PSIB commitments into executable work, align governance with delivery realities, and build end-to-end capability that lasts beyond a single contract. This is about building durable pathways between Indigenous enterprise and Canada’s defence priorities.”

Through partnership with TKMS and engagement with Germany and Norway, Inuit businesses are ready to integrate northern capability into Canada’s next-generation submarine program, strengthening both national defence and Inuit economic development."
