While it definitely is a "feel good" moment for Canadians and will definitely make some politicians happy, I have concerns about the ability of Canadian companies to meet the incredibly high bar required for producing sections of basically one of the worlds most advanced non-nuclear submarines. There is very miniscule margin for error here, with potentially disastrous consequences and little room to learn.

Any CDN manufacturing company that produces for MDA should be seriously looking at gaining some of the sub contracts that might come available. Those are the companies that understand the design/quality levels that you are referring to.

You will have to excuse my skepticism given the widespread incompetence within the Canadian shipbuilding industry, that companies won't totally bungle this sort of contract given how short of a metaphorical runway exists for them.

MDA is MDA Space, the company that produces equipment for NASA, the Canadian Space Agency, builds satellites, etc. I don't really see them or the companies that build for them, dropping the ball on something if they chose to enter the contract world in teaming up with Hanwha or TKMS to help build our subs.
