Minister, for the new package in military aid you recently announced, and it is for ukraine. Look, australia and the United States also share in may view the commitment to uphold International Rules of the road. Including freedom of navigation. Just this past week, prc vessels acted dangerously and unlawfully as our philippine friends conducted a routine supply mission within their own Economic Zone in the South China Sea. I want to be clear, i want to be very clear. The United States defense commitment to the philippines is iron clad.

As Minister Of Defence in canada, how embarrassed are you that your country is still significantly failing to meet the collective commitment of nato Member States to spend at least 2 of your gdp on defence . Stephen, im not embarrassed at all because canada, under our government, has been investing very significantly in defence and theres been a very strong upper projectory of Defence Spending.
