Carney to announce Canada will meet 2% NATO spending target by March

  • Prime Minister Mark Carney announced on June 10, 2025, that Canada will meet NATO's 2% military spending target by March next year.
  • This acceleration follows concerns about Canada's aging military infrastructure and equipment and a need to reduce reliance on the United States.
  • Carney introduced a defence plan focused on four key areas: increasing investment in personnel and military hardware, enhancing overall capabilities, bolstering the domestic defence sector, and broadening Canada's defence relationships, particularly with European partners.
  • The government will increase defence spending by C$9.3 billion this fiscal year, invest in submarines, aircraft, ships, vehicles, drones, and sensors, and review the purchase of F-35 jets to enhance readiness.
  • Canada's earlier achievement of the 2% target suggests a shift toward greater military self-reliance amid rising global threats and upcoming NATO and G7 summits.
