You're probably right but wouldn't it be nice if those "subsidies" resulted in better production instead of unreasonable delays and cancelled contracts.

Vast majority of BBD's subsidies have been for their aerospace division.

Personally I don't agree with the subsidies but everyone else doing it so to stay competitive, Canada does it, too. It's kind of like competing against athletes that do doping, it's hard to stay clean and still be competitive.
