From railways to minerals: seven takeaways from Canada's new NATO spending pledge
THE HAGUE – Canada and its NATO allies agreed Wednesday to substantially hike their defence spending target to five per cent of annual GDP by 2035. Prime Minister Mark Carney endorsed the plan to invest 3.5 per cent of national GDP in core defence needs, plus another 1.5 per cent in related areas, such as infrastructure and cybersecurity. Here are some key aspects of this week's NATO leaders' summit. 1) A post-Trump review NATO members will review their spending pledge in 2029. The U.S. Constitution says President Donald Trump ends his term in the first few days of that year. Carney would not say whether that's why NATO members set the review for 2029. He instead suggested it was a reasonable amount of time, given the need to 'ensure that the commitments align with the global security landscape.' A senior Canadian government official who spoke to reporters on background on Wednesday said the review could examine the ratio between core defence spending and funding for related areas. 2) Trump calls the shots NATO leaders boosted defence spending in part due to the threat of conventional and cyber attacks by Russia. But they were also driven to act by Trump's repeated suggestion that the U.S. might not defend a NATO ally under attack if it hasn't met the spending target — a violation of the core NATO commitment to collective defence, known as Article 5. The president generated even more uncertainty Tuesday when he said his commitment to mutual defence 'depends on your definition' of the NATO treaty's guarantee. On Wednesday, however, after the agreement on five per cent was reached, Trump was asked to clarify his stance on Article 5. 'I stand with it. That's why I'm here,' Trump said. 'If I didn't stand with it, I wouldn't be here.' NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte said he had no doubt about the U.S. commitment to NATO's collective defence. The Canadian official who briefed reporters on background said Trump said nothing to contradict the principle of collective defence during the leaders' meeting. 3) We don't know what counts Carney said he can't list at this point the weapons and other military equipment Canada will purchase to reach the 3.5 per cent benchmark by 2035. He said that's because technology keeps evolving and it's not clear how quantum tech will affect future cyber threats. Carney pointed to the huge role drones have played in Ukraine's defence — weapons that have become more sophisticated even as their costs have dropped. 'The world is changing quite rapidly — we all know that — in terms of the threats, the nature of warfare. And defence is also changing quite rapidly,' he said. 4) Build, baby, build When asked about the 1.5 per cent target for military-adjacent spending, the government official who briefed reporters said it could include projects that have dual commercial and military functions, such as roads. It could cover major projects such as the Arctic ports Carney wants to build using the fast-track powers in Bill C-5 — legislation that has come in for criticism over its wide scope and the speed at which it passed through the House of Commons. The official said Ottawa will try to make the case that projects like upgrades to rail infrastructure support national or economic security. Carney has said work to access critical minerals for allies could count toward the 1.5 per cent target — and so could a lot of other things on which Canada is already spending money. 'We're going to do a more proper accounting of that,' he said. 'We have to show that, and we have to be deliberate and strategic about it.' 5) Canada not the only laggard Canada isn't the only country under pressure to meet the new NATO spending target. Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez claimed on Sunday that Spain had reached a deal with NATO excluding it from the updated spending target. Slovakian Prime Minister Robert Fico suggested Tuesday that his country might be better off embracing neutrality, saying the new target would amount to an 'absolutely absurd' share of his government's spending. Yet both countries approved the new target, as did Italy, which also had expressed reservations about the new goal. France, the U.K., the Netherlands and Germany all had committed to the five per cent goal before the meeting, as had NATO members closer to Russia. Rutte warned Monday that no country can opt out of the target. He said progress made toward the new target will be reviewed in four years. 6) Sacrifices? Not yet Earlier this month, as he announced Canada would meet NATO's previous spending target of two per cent, Carney said hitting the target 'will require ambition, collaboration and yes, on occasion, sacrifice.' But he changed his message Wednesday. When asked what sacrifices Canada will make, Carney insisted that higher defence spending will spur economic growth. 'We're not at a trade-off, we're not at sacrifices in order to do those — these will be net-additive,' he said. 'Those trade-offs happen towards the end of the decade, into the next decade.' 7) Back to the future Canada's defence spending hasn't reached five per cent of GDP since the 1950s. It hasn't even been above two per cent since 1990, despite the fact that the two per cent target has been the NATO standard since 2014. NATO estimates that Canada spent $41 billion in 2024 on defence, or 1.37 per cent of GDP. In 2014, Canada spent $20.1 billion, or 1.01 per cent of GDP, on defence. Carney has said that five per cent of GDP would mean a $150 billion defence budget for Canada. Not everyone loves the focus on the spending target. 'The metric is stupid,' Canada's former ambassador to NATO Kerry Buck told a panel on June 4, calling it 'a club to bash you over the head.' She said the target 'carries a lot of political weight' but shouldn't distract from the need to invest in Canada's defence by spending on both the military and diplomacy. This report by The Canadian Press was first published June 25, 2025.

ARIANNE PHOSPHATE ANNOUNCES PARTICIPATION IN GRANT AWARD FROM THE GOVERNMENT OF QUEBEC Français
SAGUENAY, QC, June 25, 2025 /CNW/ - Arianne Phosphate (the "Company" or "Arianne") (TSXV: DAN) (OTCQX: DRRSF) (FRANKFURT: JE9N), a development-stage phosphate mining company, advancing the Lac à Paul project in Quebec's Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean region, is pleased to announce that Minister Blanchette Vezina, Minister of Natural Resources and Forests, recently announced the awarding of several grants totalling over $750,000 for R&D projects in the circular economy of critical and strategic minerals. As part of these grants, Arianne, with two other companies, received funding to participate in a project aimed at strengthening the supply chain for local integration of the Lithium-Iron-Phosphate ("LFP") sector in Quebec. For Arianne, the objective is to reduce the environmental impact and production costs associated with the optimization of inputs and processes association with lithium-iron-phosphate production using purified phosphoric acid. In 2024, both the Quebec and Canadian governments added the phosphate-bearing mineral apatite to their respective critical mineral lists. As well, in June of 2024, Arianne published a prefeasibility study on a downstream facility to produce purified phosphoric acid ("PPA") from high-purity phosphate concentrate. PPA is a necessary ingredient for use in both the food industry and advanced battery technologies. Considerable interest has been shown in advanced battery technologies and the growing use of LFP batteries in both electric vehicles and energy storage systems. In 2024, the LFP battery became the most widely used battery chemistry globally. Arianne's Lac à Paul deposit is geologically rare (igneous) allowing the Company to produce a phosphate concentrate that is ideally suited for integration into the LFP ecosystem and, the Company is widely regarded as having an opportunity to address the growing Western demand as supply chains shift from China. Discussions with industry players continue to advance and the Company has been active in this pursuit. Over the past month, Arianne has participated in several conferences and, is proud to be a Silver Sponsor and presenter at the Oreba3 battery technology conference to be held in Montreal July 6-8, 2025, to discuss the use of phosphate in the LFP battery and the opportunities for the Company. As well, Arianne has granted 600,000 stock options to Mr. Jeffrey Beck, CEO of Arianne Phosphate, in lieu of any salary or cash remuneration for his employment with the Company. These options entitle Mr. Beck to purchase one common share of the Company until June 23, 2035, at a price of $0.155 per share, this being the closing price of the Company's shares on the trading day of the grant. The options are subject to a vesting period and are also subject to regulatory approval. Mr. Beck added, "continuing to tie my remuneration to the future fortunes of the Company is a welcomed opportunity as prospects for the Company look very encouraging." About Arianne Phosphate: Arianne Phosphate ("Arianne Phosphate Inc.")
