Republican Sen. James Risch says Canada is failing to reach military spending levels equivalent to two per cent of its GDP.

Canada is one of a minority of alliance members no longer meeting the target.

Defence Minister Bill Blair says his government knows it needs to increase defence spending.

Admiral Rob Bauer , chair of the military committee of NATO , told the conference in a separate panel that procurement remains a major issue.

Bauer said that more than 1,000 days into the war in Ukraine , he’s hearing from military chiefs of staff in the NATO alliance they have funds available to buy ammunition and armaments, but the defence industry can’t deliver the munitions in a timely way.
