I will say that our government has been making critical smart investments into our forces, and I want to ensure that you know that we are increasing spending by 70% under Strong, Secure, Engaged between 2017 and 2026, to ensure that our CAF have the right people, equipment, training and culture to do the difficult tasks that we ask of them. We are actually seeing results from our procurement, in particular, six Arctic offshore patrol ships, two of which have been delivered, and one of which, the Harry DeWolf, has circumnavigated the North American continent.
We are going to be putting in place a contract for 88 new fighter jets, 15 surface combatants, two joint support ships, and 16 fixed-wing search and rescue aircraft.
The bottom line is that we will remain focused on the Canadian Armed Forces and on making sure they have the capabilities and culture needed to meet current and emerging threats.
