Thank you.
I've only got six minutes. I want to switch gears a bit and get back to the estimates.
Last year, you said on TV that you were going to “personally” bring “forward aggressive options” that would see Canada “potentially, exceed...the two per cent level, hitting the two per cent level” or come in “below the two per cent level”.
Based upon NATO numbers, this year we're sliding from 1.34% of GDP down to 1.29%. In your last expenditures, if I look at lapsed spending, you would make even your predecessor blush, in that you lapsed $2.5 billion in military spending.
How did that happen? I thought you were committed to getting us to the 2%. Is it because Prime Minister Trudeau has told our allies that we'll never get there?
