The problem is, do we follow through? Again, we go back to 2017 with the Canadian defence policy that came forward, “Strong, Secure, Engaged”. Remember that one of the major elements that were brought forward with that particular policy, above what it did with security, was that it said it was fully costed and fully funded. We know that wasn't the case, partly because of the COVID crisis that developed immediately after it, but we do have this difficulty that we come up with good plans and do not fund them.
In other words, yes, we're promising the $9 billion. We're promising in the next five years the $83.1 billion in addition. The question is, do we have the follow-through? That's always been my concern, from long-term observation.
