NATO's GDP forecast puts Canada's economy at $3.1 trillion for the year, making its two per cent NATO commitment worth about $62.5 billion, according to senior government officials. The federal government is currently spending about 1.45 per cent of real GDP on defence and has not spent anything close to two per cent since 1990 — despite having promised its biggest allies for years that it would. At a news conference closing the G7 summit Tuesday, Carney said allies' attention will shift next week from addressing threats to economic security to addressing issues of global defence and security at the NATO and Canada-EU summits. 'We recognize that our leadership will be defined not just by the strength of our values but the values of our strength,' he told reporters. — With files from Kyle Duggan and Nick Murray
