What is there out there for Canadian made components?

Bullets - Matrix and Campro
Powder - at least some IMR powders are made in Quebec I believe. Maybe someone knows a bit more about it.
Brass - IVI brass?
Primers -?

Probably a lot more out there, would be neat to be able to load completely with Canadian components although I'm happy with the American and European stuff.

I thought everyone would like to read about Canada's military ammunition production. While there are private ammunition manufacturing companies, all are tightly controlled by the MNR.

IVI, Valcartier Industries, is owned by General Dynamics, a US company.

According to manta, an online source of business information, there are 21 ammunition manufacturers. They are all small.
