The Canadian government said it will buy 360 combat support Light Armoured Vehicles from General Dynamics Corp.'s (GD) General Dynamics Land Systems-Canada for up to C$3 billion ($2.26 billion).

The government will also provide a loan valued up to C$650 million.

"To maximize the economic benefits of this project for Canadians, the supplier will reinvest an amount equal to the value of this contract -- dollar-for-dollar -- back into the Canadian economy to create jobs and opportunities for innovation," the government said.
