Carney is in The Hague for the NATO leaders’ summit, and made the comments in a pre-summit interview with CNN’s Christiane Amanpour that aired on Tuesday.

Leaders are debating how much to hike the NATO spending target, with NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte proposing to more than double it from the current two per cent of GDP, to five per cent.Carney said five per cent of Canada’s GDP would amount to about $150 billion per year. NATO said last year Canada spent $41 billion on defence.

NATO released a list of 12 critical minerals last year that are a must for defence. They include aluminum, which NATO described as “pivotal” to producing lightweight planes and missiles, graphite, used in the production of tanks, and cobalt, essential in the production of jet engines, submarines and jet engines.
