Oliver Burkhard, CEO of ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems (TKMS), has been promoting the company's bid for the Canadian Patrol Submarine Project (CPSP) following a major contract with Canada for up to 12 submarines. In a July 2026 appearance on *Table Today*, Burkhard described the deal as "once in a lifetime" and stated that the combined offer from Germany, Norway, and industry included a value chain of up to 100 billion euros and an impact on Canada's gross domestic product of nearly 80 billion euros. He noted that the project would secure employment and that "today they all have a lot of money, but no more time," contrasting current defense budgets with past constraints. In a June 2026 episode of *NATO Watch*, Burkhard emphasized the strategic importance of NATO for Canada and Europe, stating that "the big brother, the big one, is not there anymore and you maybe cannot rely on them." He argued that Canada's partnership with TKMS would provide economic value beyond submarine sales, including a direct GDP impact of over 80 billion dollars, and expressed confidence in the bid, saying "we will rock that."
