"We stood shoulder to shoulder with the Americans throughout the Cold War and in the decades that followed, as the United States played a dominant role on the world stage. Today, that dominance is a thing of the past," Carney told an audience of foreign policy thinkers, national security officials and defence industry business leaders.

A senior federal source who spoke to Radio-Canada says the biggest element of Monday's announcement will be the unveiling of a new defence industrial strategy, which will focus on meeting Canada's military through homegrown production.

He also hinted the Liberal government was hoping to exceed its pledge to meet the NATO defence spending target of two per cent of the gross domestic product. During the election, Carney said the government would hit the mark by 2030.
Canada plans to triple defence spending from 2014 levels by 2030, the minister said.
"But your government is willing to accelerate this. So, stay tuned."
