Carney government's national security strategy features focus on safeguarding economy
The 13-page plan adds new foreign policy, defence and intelligence measures as Ottawa seeks greater strategic independence and stronger supply chains.
- On Oct 29, Canada released "The Plan for a Stronger Canada," its first national security strategy in more than two decades, establishing a framework to protect sovereignty across eight key sectors including critical minerals and defense.
- Prime Minister Mark Carney stated that the long-held belief that global interconnectedness could substitute for sovereign capacity is no longer tenable, as the world faces "contested borders" and acute global threats.
- The strategy mandates building "strategic capabilities" in eight sectors and preparing for "all contingencies up to and including war" while reinforcing Canada's position as a strategically important global economic player.
- Ottawa plans to roll out detailed policies on intelligence, public safety, and foreign affairs over coming months, with legislative proposals to modernize national security laws expected within the next year.
- This framework positions Canada to withstand external shocks and adapt to unexpected challenges, addressing economic vulnerabilities amid tariffs and complex international relations while prioritizing greater strategic independence.
