As for the 2%, we technically have until 2024. The Wales summit in 2014 made that indication.
Rather than thinking about the actual number, we have to think about whether we have the capacity to spend those monies. I think that NORAD modernization and a focus on continental defence are essential, but not all of them are big-ticket items. For example, a program called Pathfinder, which is an investment in artificial intelligence, allows our analysts to now see and interpret more of the data that the north warning system is picking up. We can't discount those sorts of solutions as well. It doesn't have to be spending solely on hardware.
I'm very concerned about the CAF's abilities to be able to absorb all this money, given that we are down about 10,000 personnel. We're missing key trainers and we're missing key senior NCMs, captains and majors.
