There are many parts to this question, so let me start with defence spending itself.
I already indicated how we are increasing our defence spending by 70% under “Strong, Secure, Engaged”. In addition, we committed $8 billion under budget 2022 and, in addition to that, we have committed almost $40 billion for NORAD modernization and continental defence.
My point is that our defence spending is on an incline, and that is unlike the Conservatives, who let defence spending fall below 1% while they were in power.
