What to expect from Carney today
Good morning. I’m a digital senior producer covering the G7 summit here in Alberta.
Today, the focus of the summit shifts to the leaders of non-G7 countries, including Brazil, India, Mexico, South Korea and, of course, Ukraine. As host of the summit, Prime Minister Mark Carney invited them all here and has one-on-one meetings with each of them.
His first one-on-one today is with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte. Carney promised earlier this month that Canada would meet NATO’s defence spending benchmark — two per cent of GDP — by the end of this fiscal year.
Carney is scheduled to hold a news conference at 6 p.m. ET today, just before his bilateral meeting with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
