Newsroom Ready: Blair says he couldn't sell Canadians on meeting 'magical threshold' of NATO target

Defence Minister Bill Blair says he couldn't convince the Liberal cabinet that Canada needed to meet NATO's spending target, which he called a "magical threshold," in its recent defence policy update. All NATO allies have agreed to spend at least two per cent of GDP on defence. The new defence policy will see Canada spend 1.76 per cent, or $49.5 billion, by 2030. (May 1, 2024)
