Madam Speaker, I would like to ask the minister a question on a topic she is quite familiar with because of her former role.
What does she think about the budget being allocated to defence across the country? As a member of NATO, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, Canada should theoretically be investing 2% of its GDP in defence, but that is not happening. It is not clear that the plan that has been presented will help Canada meet that target.
Could she elaborate on that? I think it is a bit surreal that a Bloc MP is asking that question, but I think it is important.
