Let's move on to the next part.
We were talking about whether there's a proper road map to how we get to 3.5%. Kevin Page, the former parliamentary budget officer, was in the news over the weekend talking about the lack of transparency. We are talking about what the priorities are. We can talk about finally replacing the CF-18s and buying the F-35s. We can talk about finally replacing the Victoria-class submarines. Where's the rest of the kit?
We talk about lethality and capability, but right now, we seem to be building more bureaucracy around things like BOREALIS and the Defence Investment Agency. The whole idea of ITBs just creates more bureaucracy and cost to the taxpayer.
Where's the transparency? Where do we need to go on the road map side to meet the priorities we have on deterrence, continental security and being a reliable ally?
Again, we'll start with Professor Leuprecht.
