Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for his question. However, I do not agree with his analysis. Let me be clear: I believe that investments need to be made, even in the most difficult economic times. Investments must be made in the most critical sectors, including health. The current government is not doing enough. It is not meeting needs. It needs to invest in housing and support social and affordable housing. Housing is a fundamental right. Again, money is being spent, but is it delivering the right results? Not necessarily. We must not throw the baby out with the bathwater. I do not think it is a matter of investment. I believe that it is more a matter of determining whether the investments being made deliver value for money.

Mr. Speaker, we will certainly support the idea of increasing defence spending to 2% of GDP. My issue is not with these investments. We have long been calling for predictability from the government, in this sector and in others. It is pretty disgraceful to see the way the government acts and the fact that the army has to buy its own boots. Will this money be depoliticized? Can the government guarantee that the money will address the real needs?
