You have to remember that Canada is never alone in the world. We always work hand in hand with our allies. I'm not going to say that China or Russia are worrying all of a sudden because Canada hasn't updated its infrastructure or its aircraft. Our allies have done it, so there are enough F‑35s in the sky. The Americans are at the ready. Canada, however, is giving its allies the impression that it is benefiting from the fact that they have made the investments, whereas Canada has not. We are counting on our allies' shield and power of deterrence, and I think that our behaviour is starting to have an impact.
If Canada wants a seat at the table, it has to be a bit more serious and invest more. AUKUS was set up and we only learned about it the next day, in the news. That is perhaps a sign that our allies are not including us in their conversations.
For me, it's a problem.
