She explores how research partnerships with the Royal Canadian Navy actually work on the ground, what dual-use technologies mean for both civilian innovation and defence readiness, and how institutions like Dalhousie are stepping in to fill critical gaps in domestic naval capability. Brooks argues that this moment is fundamentally about economic development—that getting defence spending right means deliberately building Canadian firms, talent, supply chains, and confidence, and that Canada is simply too small a country to leave those pieces disconnected.
