b. Canada achieves greater defence industry collaboration with EU MS, advancing priorities set out in the 2025 Speech from the Throne, which committed Canada to join the EU’s ReArm Europe Plan/Readiness 2030, and in the PM’s 2025 Mandate Letter, which identifies strengthening collaboration with reliable partners and allies as a top priority. 
c. Finally, Canada’s financial contributions will support the continental defence of Europe and Ukrainian industry, in line with commitments in Budget 2025.
