Canada has made history by joining the European Union’s €150 billion ($170 billion) defence program, SAFE, becoming the first non-European nation involved in this initiative. Prime Minister Mark Carney noted that this decision would create “tremendous opportunities” for Canadian defence firms while addressing vital gaps in European security reliability.
Launched this year, the SAFE program aims to enhance EU defence preparedness by 2030. The initiative concentrates on various sectors, including missile systems, drones, cyber warfare, artillery, maritime security, and safeguarding space-related assets. Although standard joint projects need a minimum of 65 percent components from EU sources, countries like Canada can request certain exemptions.
Carney emphasized that Canada’s involvement in SAFE supports the country’s strategic goal to diversify its military purchasing and decrease dependency on the United States, particularly following recent trade disputes. Discussions between the EU and UK regarding UK participation in SAFE concluded last week without an agreement due to differing views on funding commitments.
Canada’s role in SAFE is anticipated to enhance transatlantic defence relationships, open up markets for Canadian suppliers, and attract more European investment into Canada’s military sector.
