Mr. Speaker, these are major, historic investments in defence. My colleague is talking about upcoming targeted investments. Right now, we are meeting targets that were planned for much later.
I know first-hand how important our soldiers are. My son is a member of the Canadian Armed Forces and will be deploying to Latvia in the coming year.
I understand the investments, I understand the needs of our military and I also understand veterans. Our government is doing something that has never been done before in the history of our country.
We are investing in defence. We are investing in our military personnel, in the people who serve us day after day, in those who will serve us in the future and who will be there to protect us.
