Canada has entered into negotiations to procure Saab’s Airborne Early Warning & Control Aircraft.

This new system will help the Canadian Armed Forces to detect and deter threats across the Arctic — and support more than 3000 Canadian jobs, from the skilled trades to engineering and tech.

[Mark Carney @MarkJCarney]

Canada is building its strength and reinvesting in the @CanadianForces — to protect Canadians, secure our sovereignty, and stand with our Allies.

Yesterday, we announced major new investments to modernise CAF infrastructure, create new training centres, and build new aviation facilities across Atlantic Canada.

After more than a decade of plodding progress-Canada finally reaches the 2% GDP defence spending target set by NATO in 2014. The achievement comes as members of the alliance aim for a new 5% target by 2035.

So much of Canada’s military capability, and nearly 20% of our economy, relies on satellites.

We’re making an historic investment toward a Canadian-owned launch pad to send satellites into orbit — strengthening the @CanadianForces, our sovereignty, and our economic security.

Operation Cold Response. 

@CanadianForces training with NATO Allies here in Norway — to defend our High North, and strengthen our sovereignty and security.

[Mark Carney @MarkJCarney]

We're rebuilding, rearming, and reinvesting in the Canadian Armed Forces.

From making sure they have the equipment they need, to giving service members the biggest pay raise in a generation — we’re reinforcing our capacity to protect our country, our allies, and our values.

[Mark Carney @MarkJCarney]

The work of defending Canada is the work of building Canada.

The Defence Industrial Strategy will create good jobs, attract new investment, and make sure our women and men in uniform have everything they need to defend our country.

[Mark Carney @MarkJCarney]

Our military needs new equipment to protect Canadians and our Allies. Our new Defence Industrial Strategy means we’re making it here, in Canada.

[Mark Carney @MarkJCarney]

The new Defence Investment Agency will speed up procurement, cut red tape, and expand domestic production.

We’ll protect our sovereignty, strengthen our defence industry, and create thousands of new careers.

[Mark Carney @MarkJCarney]

Canada’s new Defence Industrial Strategy has a simple framework: Build. Partner. Buy.

We will build defence equipment in Canada and prioritise Canadian companies. Where we can’t build, we will partner with allies. Only after exhausting these options, will we buy from abroad — ensuring that the maximum benefits are returned to Canada throughout the value chain.

[Mark Carney @MarkJCarney]

Canada is now the first non-European country to be granted a membership in SAFE. This is a gamechanger program that means Canada can rearm our Canadian Armed Forces members more effectively and scale up our defence industries with more contracts overseas.

Canada is working relentlessly with our allies to secure a just and lasting peace for Ukraine. 

Today, leaders of the Coalition of the Willing met in Paris to advance that shared mission: https://t.co/DVRWu2RtEB

[Mark Carney @MarkJCarney]

Welcome back to Canada, @ZelenskyyUA.

Today in Halifax, we committed critical new support to help Ukraine end Russia’s war of aggression, and to recover and rebuild. When peace comes — and it will come — Canada will be there for the Ukrainian people. Slava Ukraini. 🇨🇦🇺🇦

[Canada Border Services Agency @CanBorder]

CBSA officers encountered a traveller from the North Pole carrying multiple bags of concealed goods and travelling alongside nine caribou.

He was cleared for entry after submitting his declaration : “Merry Christmas, Canada!”

[Mark Carney @MarkJCarney]

Our new Buy Canadian Policy means that as we build major housing, infrastructure, and defence projects, we’re building with Canadian materials, Canadian technology, and Canadian workers.

[Mark Carney @MarkJCarney]

Our new Buy Canadian Policy officially launches today.

Our major federal construction and defence projects will prioritise Canadian steel, aluminum, and lumber. We’re building big, we’re building bold — and starting today, we’re building Canadian.

[Mark Carney @MarkJCarney]

We’ve launched a new Defence Investment Agency that will create massive new opportunities for our workers and businesses across Canada, and make sure that our Armed Forces always have the equipment they need to protect Canadians.
