Roshel registered to lobby the federal government with the goal of “pursuing procurement opportunities with both Canadian and international governments for its multi-purpose armoured vehicle.” Roshel makes a range of armoured vehicles, including six models of armoured tactical vehicles suited for national defence, but it has only gotten one contract from the federal government worth just under $325,000.

Another armoured vehicle maker, General Dynamics Canada, also reported this month that they lobbied an assistant deputy minister of procurement about federal armoured vehicle contracts. That company, which is a Canadian subsidiary of the massive U.S.-based arms manufacturer, has won two recent tactical armoured vehicle contracts from the Canadian government and has been awarded more than $11.5 billion across nearly 1,300 federal contracts since 2004.
