Today’s Defence Policy Update brings us closer to meeting our NATO spending commitments and addresses some longstanding challenges facing our defence industrial base. What’s important here is that we’re investing in our arctic sovereignty, reviewing how we can grow our defence manufacturing ecosystem, while better protecting Canadians from cyber threats.
But our Armed Forces won’t be served by more deferred investments. The regular reviews of our national security and defence strategies are a starting point, but the ever-increasing threats to Canada’s national and economic security requires a defence policy that is ready to respond to tomorrow’s threats, today.
Perrin Beatty, President and CEO, Canadian Chamber of Commerce
