Madam Speaker, I do not know the hon. member that well, but I do know him to be someone focused on a range of different policy issues, and tonight is no different. He raised the matter of defence and looked at Arctic sovereignty, obviously relating to the concurrence debate here. I wonder if he could tell us his view on the 2% ask of NATO and what his views are on that and, rather, what his party's views are. Would a future Conservative government commit to fulfilling that 2% ask?

Madam Speaker, I have made my views very clear about NATO and NORAD tonight. The member has heard our views from this side about NORAD and the need to modernize in order to protect our northern front. It is unequivocal that it needs to happen. The former defence minister made the announcement of modernizing NORAD. I think it was $4.95 billion at the time. I applauded her for making that announcement. The sad part is what I referred to in my speech, which is that with that big promise made, only $45 million has been spent to date. Again, actions speak louder than words. Let us see some action.
