Foreign Affairs
In a debate on foreign affairs, Liberal members discussed their Minister of Foreign Affairs attending a NATO meeting and Canada investing in its defence industry to meet 2% of GDP, reinforcing alliances. The debate focused on these high-level diplomatic meetings and defence spending commitments, rather than delving into specifics of global conflicts.
“I want to cheer for our Sweden trip and list vague things we did there. Canada will spend more on defence to meet our 2% target. I am saying nice things about Ukraine and our NATO allies.”
