Thank you, Chad.
It is indeed not enjoyable for some MPs to hear things said clearly. Not only are Conservative MPs not wanting to speak about these things, but they are forced not to do so by their leader.
Now, that's their issue, perhaps, but the problem is that this brings up stark differences leading into the next election, as you were pointing to. They'll have to answer to Canadians on why they say so many good things about the armed forces but invested less than 1% of GDP on the armed forces prior to 2015. They'll have to explain why they voted against every possible investment we've made in support of Ukraine in the last year or two. They'll have to explain that. They'll have to explain why they voted against a free trade agreement to support Ukraine. They all voted against that. We know that many of them would have liked to vote in favour, but they were forced by the Conservative leader not to do so. That's for them to say.
What we can say, however, is that we have invested $4.5 billion in supporting Ukraine. We have trained and helped train F-16 pilots. We have helped support the Ukrainian maintenance workers who are so important for maintaining those F-16s. We have invested $650 million in advanced and highly needed armoured combat support vehicles.
These are all examples, along with many others, that unfortunately—we know they don't want to speak about it—Conservative MPs voted systematically against, not because they wanted to do so, perhaps, but because they were forced to.
