Defence Minister Anita Anand wouldn't tell a virtual conference hosted by the Canadian Chamber of Commerce when the government will meet the NATO spending target of two per cent of GDP.
She would only say that Canada is on an ``upward trajectory'' when it comes to meeting the target first agreed to in 2014 as well as modernizing NORAD.
Anand also says she's in the process of working on the "unwritten chapter" of Canada's defence strategy: modernizing the outdated continental defence system it shares with the U.S.
She says Canada intends to work closely with domestic defence contractors in order to develop a "robust plan" in conjunction with the Pentagon.
