Mr. Speaker, last week, the Prime Minister announced a $9.3-billion investment in Canada's defence, which means we will achieve NATO's 2% target this fiscal year. This is not only an investment in our armed forces, but also an investment in good-paying jobs, in Canadian innovation and in economic growth. Our generational investment is strengthening Canada's role as a strong, reliable international trading partner while rebuilding and rearming our forces here at home. It is unfortunate the Conservatives voted against it.
