OTTAWA—Defence Minister Anita Anand says the Canadian military is weighing its capacity to send reinforcements to bolster NATO’s eastern flank given its numerous other commitments at home and around the world.

But the minister isn’t saying when such an assessment could be finished, or when the Liberal government will decide if or how Canada will support the military alliance in its standoff with Russia.
