National Shipbuilding Strategy and the Oceans Protection Plan

Explore how the National Shipbuilding Strategy is supporting the Government of Canada’s role in the Ocean Protection Plan.

Overview

On November 7, 2016, the Prime Minister launched a $1.5 billion national Oceans Protection Plan (OPP) that:

• improves marine safety and responsible shipping
• protects Canada's marine environment
• offers new possibilities for Indigenous and coastal communities

This program is a ministerial priority for:

• the Canadian Coast Guard
• Environment and Climate Change Canada
• Fisheries and Oceans Canada
• Indigenous and Northern Affairs Canada
• Natural Resources Canada
• Transport Canada

Role of Public Services and Procurement Canada

Public Services and Procurement Canada (PSPC) supports Transport Canada in its Oceans Protection Plan obligations by developing and implementing a departmental framework for the coordination of OPP procurements tendered by PSPC and by leading Canada-wide procurements.
