This year, our conversations took on new urgency because the world is growing darker. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is an attack on the principles and values that have underscored global peace and security for more than 80 years — democracy, freedom and the rule of law. Canada stands firmly with our allies on the side of democracy, multilateralism, and the rules-based international order. We are demonstrating this in our unwavering support for Ukraine.
Supporting Ukraine isn’t the only example of Canadian leadership. In June, I unveiled Canada’s plan to invest $38.6 billion over 20 years to modernize our NORAD capabilities. This marks the most significant upgrade to Canada’s NORAD capabilities in nearly four decades.
