Unfortunately, Mr. Bezan, your question indicates that you're somewhat confused by the sequence of events, so may I clarify that for you.
On April 8, we released the defence policy update. The defence policy update articulated a plan to bring Canada's defence spending to 1.76% by 2030. It was followed up by the spring budget that also took place in the spring, obviously, of 2024, which added significant new additional spending, which was approximately $8.1 billion over the next five years and $73 billion over the next 20 years. That did not articulate a plan to bring us to 2%, but only to 1.76% in the next five years.
We then sharpened our pencils, and we also explained in the onset that we were going to do additional work because there was much more that needed to be done.
