"So last October, we promised that the new Defence Investment Agency would accelerate timelines, strengthen partnerships, deliver better outcomes for our Armed Forces and our economy. In January, in Davos, I stated that Canada must work with like-minded middle powers at speed and scale to create mutual reliance, to expand our strategic capabilities and to build greater strategic autonomy. In February here, we launched our new Defence Industrial Strategy, a bold plan to get our Armed Forces what they need, when they need it, to scale Canadian defence companies and put hundreds of billions of dollars to work in strategic sectors of our economy. Well, we're turning those commitments into action. Because tyranny is no longer in retreat, because the threats we and our allies face are real and varied, because they must be met head on by a Canada prepared to defend our interests, protect our citizens, build our economy and secure our future, and because we are Canada Strong."
