Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank my colleague for his speech.
In his comments, my colleague spoke about the budget of the Department of National Defence and said that the Liberals were neglecting that department.
I would like to hear more about a negative aspect of the budget that was raised and criticized by the parliamentary budget officer, and that is the lack of transparency in the document and the figures.
A lot of spending will go on until 2021-22. That is the case for the Department of National Defence. Some expenditures are even planned for 2021-22. That is basically two elections from now.
Could my colleague talk about the government's approach of announcing figures when those amounts will not be spent until two elections from now?
