Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you very much, Mr. Giroux, for your testimony today, for providing such excellent responses and for shedding a lot of light on our defence expenditures the last number of years.
Our discussion has delved into the nitty-gritty right from the get-go in our conversations today, but I wanted to pull the microscope lens back a bit and get a bit of context. In the last 30 years, has spending ever been higher on defence in Canada?
