Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to share with the House that, yesterday, we released our renewed vision for defence. “Our North, Strong and Free” is a clear plan to build Canadian Armed Forces that will defend our sovereignty and protect our interests globally. It is a responsible plan that will support the members of the Canadian Armed Forces and help us grow their numbers.
