You, Mr. Speaker, would also be very enthusiastic about the bilateral agreements that have been signed across this country. I want to thank the member for Yukon for his extraordinary work, not only as a member of Parliament but as a physician and a chief medical officer. The work he has done to promote public health and better health for Canadians across the country really has to be commended. I was so proud to be with him in the Yukon to make an announcement that is going to see more doctors and more nurses, reduce backlog, improve access to care and make sure that we allow our seniors to age at home. It is part of a $200-billion plan to take action across the country.

Mr. Speaker, since 2014, Canada has had the third-largest increase in defence spending and ranks sixth among the 32 NATO countries. Recently, we announced that we are going to invest $8.1 billion over the next five years and increase it to about $73 billion over the next 20 years. I would like to ask the member if he can touch upon the recent announcement we made, where we said we are going to invest $295 million into the Canadian Armed Forces housing strategy to build new housing as well as to rehabilitate the existing housing stock. We also announced about $497 million for the electronic health records of the Canadian Armed Forces. Can he touch upon the recent announcement we made that refers to these increases to improve the strength of the Canadian Armed Forces?
