“We need to spend two percent of our GDP on the military. This money helps our armed forces fight in wars and help at home during wildfires and floods.”
“Mr. Speaker, only a Conservative would say that spending 2% of GDP on defence is a waste. Being from a military family, I find that, quite frankly, incredibly offensive. The capabilities that this investment will allow us to have are incredibly important to not only our military response, but also our domestic response, whether that be wildfires, flooding or so on and so forth. To assume otherwise is absolutely incorrect. By the way, seeing that it is Monday evening, I just want to say, go, Habs, go!”
