Mr. Speaker, our military has been waiting long enough for this. I spoke earlier about how, when we came into office in 2015, the percentage of GDP Stephen Harper had brought the level of spending down to was 0.97%. Now we have a plan. By next March, we will be at 2%, per the announcement today. This is important. It is important to so many communities and to Canada as a whole. I am very happy to see this announcement today.
In the House of Commons on June 9th, 2025. See this statement in context.
