Mr. Speaker, I differ with the member opposite's characterization of Canada's aid to date. In fact, I have announced six tranches of military aid, both lethal and non-lethal, to Ukraine since February alone. This represents well over $100 million in military aid to Ukraine. We have also assisted our allies. With 21 flights on the C-130s, Canada is providing airlift support across the NATO alliance. We are there for Ukraine. We stand with their sovereignty and stability. We will be there as long as we need to.

Mr. Speaker, I am surprised at the member opposite's characterization of our Canadian Armed Forces. In fact, our commitment to NATO operations, including Operation Reassurance, is unwavering. To reinforce our deterrent measures in Europe in the face of rising tensions, we announced that we are increasing military contributions in support of NATO and in support of Operation Reassurance with up to 460 additional CAF personnel; an artillery battery in Latvia; a second frigate, which departed Halifax over the past couple of weeks; and a maritime patrol aircraft. We are there for NATO. We are there for Ukraine.
