“Our government increased military spending to 2% of Canada's economy. The Conservatives only spent 1% when they were in power. Does the member support our higher military spending?”
“Mr. Speaker, one of the biggest expenditures that the government is making, which is relatively new, is in the area of the military. The Liberal government has actually elevated military spending to 2% of Canada’s GDP, something the Conservative government in the past had at 1%. When the Leader of the Opposition was a part of the government caucus, 1% of Canada’s GDP went to the military. Does the member support the Government of Canada’s expenditure of 2% of GDP to the military?”
