(iii) the Prime Minister has failed to explain how much spending from departments other than National Defence will now count as defence spending for the purposes of NATO's 2% target,

(iv) the Auditor General has found that, with respect to Canada's planned acquisition of new F-35 fighter jets,

(A) the Department of National Defence “was only 50% confident in its 2022 estimate, meaning that it expected the eventual cost was as likely to be greater than the estimate as within it”,

(B) the overall cost of the F-35 has risen to $27.7 billion from the government's initial estimate of $19 billion,

(v) cost overruns and government boondoggles only serve to inflate defence budgets while providing nothing for the Canadian Armed Forces,
