One of the country's leading business voices is warning that Canada faces "diplomatic isolation" if it's not prepared to deliver a concrete plan next month to raise defence spending to meet NATO's benchmark.

"This is an area where we have been called out," Goldy Hyder, president and chief executive officer of the Business Council of Canada, told CBC News. "It used to be called out quietly in Washington.
