King Charles says Prime Minister Mark Carney's government vows to protect Canadian sovereignty by building up the military and redefining the relationship with the U-S.

The King read the throne speech in Ottawa today to officially open Parliament. He finished his address by saying -- quote -- ``As the anthem reminds us, the true North is indeed strong and free.'

The speech confirmed that Canada will join the ReArm Europe plan -- a major defence procurement project to ramp up arms production in Europe.

The move could reduce Canada's reliance on the United States as a source of military equipment.
