I would say that leadership is required from the federal government. Prime ministers and cabinet can't always be expected to figure out which way the parade is going and get behind it. They actually have to get in front of this issue.
It's quite true that, in years to come, the Canadian Forces will get better in terms of equipment, but in my opinion NATO doesn't care. We said we'd get to 2% by 2024. We are a long way from that right now. I don't think senior leadership in the United States, both existing and about to be, really cares at all what our excuses might be. They're fairly transactional, and I think they're looking for quick results. That has an impact on trade, and our trade negotiations are coming due now. If you put it in that context, there's a pretty clear message.
