Canada's long-awaited defence policy update has been unveiled, with a focus on increasing military spending by $8 billion and strengthening capabilities in the Arctic and cyber security. Despite the increase, the spending will fall short of NATO's 2% GDP target, reaching 1.7% by 2029. The Trudeau government plans to allocate $73 billion over 20 years for military renewal.
