"Bell 412 can be militarized similar to the way to Canadian Armed Forces made with their CH-146 Griffon. It may even be the template considering the DND are talking to the Canadians, not the Americans."

Government Confirms Bell Helicopter Textron Canada Sale of 8 Helicopters To Philippine Military

DAVID PUGLIESE More from David Pugliese
Published on: March 28, 2014Last Updated: May 18, 2014 12:06 PM EDT

This news release came in from the federal government, via the Aerospace Industries Association of Canada. Readers may recall that they read about this development a couple of days ago on Defence Watch but this news release makes it official:

March 28, 2014 – Ottawa, Ontario – The Honourable Ed Fast, Minister of International Trade, today announced that Canada has signed a US$105-million contract with the Philippines to supply eight specialized helicopters manufactured by Bell Helicopter Textron Canada Ltd.

The contract was negotiated under a memorandum of understanding (MOU) between the Canadian Commercial Corporation and the Philippines’ Department of National Defense. Prime Minister Stephen Harper announced the MOU during his visit to the Philippines in November 2012.

Facilitated by the Canadian Commercial Corporation, the Government of Canada’s international government-to-government contracting organization, the eight helicopters will be manufactured at Bell Helicopter’s Mirabel, Quebec, plant over the next two years, solidifying Quebec’s reputation for excellence in aircraft manufacturing and services.

Aerospace is a priority sector under Canada’s Global Markets Action Plan.

Quick Facts
• As one of Canada’s largest exporters, the Canadian aerospace industry exports nearly 80 percent of its products.
• Canadian exports of aircraft, aircraft engines and aircraft parts reached a near-record high of $10.8 billion in 2013, a 5.4 percent increase from the year before.
• Canada’s aerospace industry comprises more than 700 companies of all sizes from coast to coast and employs more than 170,000 Canadians.
• In 2012-13, the Canadian Commercial Corporation was active in 72 countries with more than 210 Canadian companies, signing contracts worth approximately $1 billion.
