Huppé demonstrates high economic retention through Canadian ownership and localized manufacturing operations in Quebec. The True North score is supported by the concentration of both strategic control and primary production facilities within the country. While input sourcing likely includes domestic wood, the lack of granular supply chain data for all components limits the final vector score.
