I have a question about National Defence as well.
Over the past few weeks, we've been hearing a lot about how the government is planning massive spending. We'll find out on November 4.
On June 25, the Prime Minister, Mr. Carney, told NATO that Canada would allocate up to 5% of its GDP to military spending.
That's all well and good, but we heard earlier that there's a shortage of pilots and technicians. National Defence is unable to spend its money at this point.
Are we on the right track? Is that pledge to increase Canada's military spending to 5% of its GDP realistic?
