About the Controlled Goods Program

The Controlled Goods Program was created in 2001 to strengthen the Canada – U.S. agreement on defense trade controls and is essential to maintaining the unique Canadian exemption with respect to the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR). A key objective of the program is to prevent the proliferation of tactical and strategic assets including weapons, satellite global positioning systems and communications equipment, military equipment and related intellectual property.
