[Verse 1]
When defence SMBs need capital to grow
Four billion from BDC is where they'll go
Venture capital and advisory too
Defence Platform's waiting there for you
Check eligibility, make your case
Funding mechanisms in the right place
[Chorus]
Three fifty-seven Regional Defence
Two forty-four IRAP makes sense
Six fifty-six Strategic Response
BOREALIS keeps research strong
BDC Platform four billion strong
Funding defence where we belong
[Verse 2]
Regional Development Agencies know
Where local defence investments should flow
Western Economic Diversification
PacifiCan builds our nation
Three fifty-seven million to invest
Regional Defence Initiative's the best
[Chorus]
Three fifty-seven Regional Defence
Two forty-four IRAP makes sense
Six fifty-six Strategic Response
BOREALIS keeps research strong
BDC Platform four billion strong
Funding defence where we belong
[Verse 3]
NRC-IRAP's got two forty-four
For R and D that opens every door
Defence and dual-use technology
Small and medium companies can see
Innovation funding stream so bright
IRAP assists and gets it right
[Bridge]
Strategic Response Fund leads the way
Innovative Solutions Canada today
Six fifty-six point nine to spend
Commercialization till the end
BOREALIS coordinates research flow
Sixty-eight million helps it grow
Defence Innovation Secure Hubs unite
Keeping our technology burning bright
[Chorus]
Three fifty-seven Regional Defence
Two forty-four IRAP makes sense
Six fifty-six Strategic Response
BOREALIS keeps research strong
BDC Platform four billion strong
Funding defence where we belong
[Outro]
Five funding streams to know by heart
Defence readiness where we start
Billions invested in our defence
Strategic funding that makes sense
