And Carney has already committed Canada to meet the 2% target by the end of this year. He has boosted the salaries of our soldiers by 20%, and increased other stipends. So he looks to be following through on that 2% promise.
That is also a fact, so there is no point in using the 2% GDP contribution anymore as a dig against Canada.
And Carney has also committed to the 3.5% + 1.5% NATO spending target as well.
So what purpose is there with you in bringing up how we are not meeting NATO spending targets?
