The speaker the house will be in order. The prayer will be offered by chaplain kibben. Chaplain kibben would you pray with me. O god, our rock and salvation, our prayers are once again offered unto you on behalf of ukraine. Many are its foes. The fearful within its borders yearn for the strength of your justice. The adversaries who surround them are saying will you not deliver them. But you, o lord, have proven to be a shield around them. You are the source of their strength. The one who lifts their heads to face their enemies. In these seemingly neverending days and months of conflict, in their faking and their waking and their sleeping, lord, sustain the men and women of ukraine. May they not give in to the fear though they are continually assailed on every front. May their faith in you uphold them. Arise, o lord, and deliver the people of ukraine from you alone comes deliverance. May your blessing be upon your people. In your mighty name we pray. Amen. The speaker the chair has exam
Give taken a particular interest. You go there lots a what draws you up there . A couple of things. Canada as in northern nation. That is what, one of the things that makes us distinct from the United States. Whereas in canada, the United States, you say go west to find your identity. In this country, it has always been go north. That is the part of the country that defines our identity and has so much promise in terms of its abundant resources. I do want to say this one of the things we tried to do as a government, with some success, is we come to office with two views but too often in the past, were seeing. One is that this government is extremely proamerican. The valiant the relationship with the United States. We could not be in a better situation than to have the United States as our only real labor, closest economic partner and oldham of the allied. And ally. At the same time, were Strong Canadian nationalists and think in our own modest way. We see no incompatibility with that.
Government is to protect the people. I think our government has done a good job of that. Because of our debt we are limited Going Forward we spend about 18 of our budget on department of defense and homeland security. We have 82 of the rest of the budget and thats what they are trying to increase right now. We need about 20,000 more tech cyber guys hackers, for lack of a better word to defend our infrastructure. We have boekcaek boka haram. We are talking about free internet, free housing and we need to do something about the defense of our country. Its tough because we are in a budget mess because of our overspending. A key was hacking. Do we have the right priorities in terms of spending for that . In this budget request the president is doing is 50 for discretionary and 50 military. Also there will be more money going towards defense spending because of the money we are going to save from afghanistan winding down. And closing military bases in europe. It needs to be a huge priority.
