Thank you.
I have four questions, but first I want comment on something the minister said, that supporters of the military would like to see more money, and that's not always possible.
What I would say is that supporters of the military would like to see honesty, and that's been scarce.
For the record, I'll mention the articles of J.L. Granatstein and Roland Paris of the Centre for International Policy Studies on defence spending as a percentage of GDP, which is now lower than at any time during the previous Liberal government years, and in fact lower than it's been since the 1930s.
If the minister has backup for his 0.9% of GDP figure, I would appreciate it if he would table that.
