That's probably true of most of the NATO countries other than the US and Turkey these days (and even the US can only build modest numbers of shells and missiles per year). Decades of post-cold war cost-cutting and shifting to fight insurgents means that most militarizes are unprepared for an intensive peer-on-peer conflict.
It also extends further; when you look at the the Ukrainian war and see the leading weapons system in use there, Canada has almost none of that. Very little towed artillery, no self-propelled artillery, rocket artillery, stand-off weapons, air defenses or loitering drones.
