Looking at what the Finns are doing, I don't think they're trying to be the United States, but they're still investing much more than we are. The Norwegians and Swedes, per capita, are as well. I don't think it's the U.S. and then the rest. Some countries are doing much better, and what they're doing is defining, articulating more clearly what their national interests are instead of waiting for others to tell them what they should be doing. That's a different approach from what we're focusing on.
There's a reluctance to take the lead politically here in this country. Also, there's an aversion in the Canadian military to focusing its resources and attention on our country, because it would prevent us, given that 1.2% budget, from being elsewhere. It's being elsewhere that is ingrained in the strategic culture of, “This is how we can have the Canadian flag abroad,” and, “This is how we can have influence,” by leading a multinational task force in Latvia and things like that, or leading any naval deployment, as well, such as in the Asia-Pacific, where we have two frigates right now. This is what we think is in Canada's best interests, but I'm not sure these are well-spent resources. They are such finite resources, in my mind.
