Projected capital spending under Canada's Strong, Secure, Engaged (SSE) defence policy has increased by CAD51.5 billion (USD38 billion) since 2022, according to the Office of the Parliamentary Budget Officer (PBO), a nonpartisan agent of the Canadian Parliament.

The SSE policy, unveiled in June 2017, projected CAD553 billion in spending over a 20-year period ending in 2036–37. This included CAD164 billion for capital acquisitions. The PBO's report in 2022 put the capital spending envelope at CAD163.3 billion, which increased to CAD214.8 billion in the report published on 28 February.

The new report said it used updated figures from all SSE capital projects provided by the Department of National Defence (DND) as of August 2023.

The CAD51.5 billion increase is attributed to new North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) modernisation projects and delays in existing projects, causing some short-term expenditures to be pushed into later years.
