Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Summer twenty-twenty-five is when we start the game
Strategic partnership framework, calling out each name
Canadian defence firms get their invitation card
Onboarding process begins, they've been working hard

[Chorus]
Track these milestones, mark your calendar tight
Summer twenty-five, then twenty-six in sight
CPCSC mandatory, contracts must comply
Defence Advisory Forum, reaching for the sky
BDC Platform opens, applications fly
BOREALIS and Secure Hub, locations you can't hide
ITB Policy reforms, details clarified

[Verse 2]
Twenty twenty-six arrives with certification rules
CPCSC becomes the standard, mandatory for all tools
New procurement contracts won't proceed without the seal
Full compliance is the future, making readiness real

[Chorus]
Track these milestones, mark your calendar tight
Summer twenty-five, then twenty-six in sight
CPCSC mandatory, contracts must comply
Defence Advisory Forum, reaching for the sky
BDC Platform opens, applications fly
BOREALIS and Secure Hub, locations you can't hide
ITB Policy reforms, details clarified

[Bridge]
Defence Advisory Forum gets its launch day set
BDC Defence Platform, applications you can get
BOREALIS and Secure Hub announce where they will be
ITB Policy reform details, published finally

[Verse 3]
Six critical milestones on the timeline ahead
Strategic readiness requires every deadline met
From partnership frameworks to certification drives
Industrial strategy depends on these to come alive

[Final Chorus]
Track these milestones, mark your calendar tight
Summer twenty-five, then twenty-six in sight
CPCSC mandatory, contracts must comply
Defence Advisory Forum, reaching for the sky
BDC Platform opens, applications fly
BOREALIS and Secure Hub, locations you can't hide
ITB Policy reforms, details clarified

[Outro]
Six milestones to follow, six dates you must know
Defence Industrial Strategy, watch the timeline flow
