Prime Minister Mark Carney is preparing to announce Canada's commitment to achieve NATO's defense spending benchmark of two percent of GDP by the end of the fiscal year in March. The announcement will introduce a new defense industrial strategy emphasizing domestic production to enhance military capabilities, including acquiring drones and armoured vehicles. Additionally, the Canadian Coast Guard is set to be integrated into the Department of National Defence, alongside promised pay raises for military personnel, reflecting a significant shift in defense policy following criticisms during Justin Trudeau's leadership.
"The prime minister's upcoming announcement will highlight a strategic shift towards increasing Canada’s defense spending to meet NATO's two percent GDP target by next March."
"A strategic defense industrial plan will be revealed, aimed at bolstering Canada's military capabilities through domestic production and enhancing surveillance in the Arctic."
