6. NATO and Canada
 Trudeau continues to lie and lie when it comes
spending, especially the military.
 I look at RPP for the govt and the amount being spent
for the next few years is 20B. In fact, the government
has also cut about $100M from the 2018-2019 budget

7. Senate Committee – Super Hornet
 While Conservative senator and committee chair Daniel Lang said the
report did not presuppose the F-35 would win a competition, he did
suggest buying Super Hornets would hamstring the military.
 “If we go the route that we’re presently going, it’s going to be a cost of $5-
$7 billion,” he told reporters, “and then the Air Force will have an air fleet
that is not going to meet the responsibilities that we expect of them.”
 The Senate committee’s overall recommendations would see the military
expand to a size unprecedented since the Cold War, for which Lang was
unapologetic.

22. Blog - Military
 Trudeau loves to quote things about Military, but let’s look at facts:
 Veterans – Many cases the veterans have been taken care of very well by CPC. Are there issues, yes? Many of those issues have to do
with paperwork which needs to be streamlined. http://www.slideshare.net/paulyoungcga/veteran-affairs-canada
 Harper funded the military by making commitment to build frigates in Canada - http://www.slideshare.net/paulyoungcga/military-
spending-for-canada-november-19-2016
 Trudeau is the one moving forward with the Hornet including a gag order for the Department of defense -
http://www.popularmechanics.com/military/weapons/a24012/canada-f-18-order/ or http://globalnews.ca/news/3087090/trudeau-
liberals-wasting-taxpayer-dollars-on-super-hornet-fighter-jet-deal-critics/ Trudeau claims to be open and is not.
 Trudeau never answered the question on taxing, why? Trudeau plans to tax military personnel more as part of his government tax and
spend.
 http://www.slideshare.net/paulyoungcga/prime-minister-stephen-harper-fiscal-management . Harper used lapsing funds which is
money unspent is returned to the treasury. http://news.nationalpost.com/news/canada/canadian-politics/liberals-left-900-million-
unspent-last-year-at-indigenous-affairs. Trudeau used lapsing funds as well!

 Saudi Arabia – human rights - https://www.unwatch.org/15032-2/

far/article28180299/? or http://www.lfpress.com/2017/02/12/military-deal-saves-jobs-at-
london-gdls-plant
 It is funny how I see people making posts on Saudi Arabia without all the facts. Canada and
Saudi Arabia have other trade including oil. So, if we buy oil from Saudi Arabia then revenue
from the oil sales goes to support actions like what is being discussed in the article -
https://www.slideshare.net/paulyoungcga/government-and-economic-policies-saudi-arabia-
january-2017. Saudi Arabia is also key member of rights council. So, if Ms Freeland has an issue
then call the UN - http://www.ohchr.org/EN/HRBodies/HRC/Pages/CurrentMembers.aspx and
then tell them you will pull foreign aid unless rights issues are fixed -

24. Fighter Jets
 Liberals - https://www.facebook.com/CTVNews/videos/1837344369640814/
 The federal government has added a caveat to their purchase of fighter jets, requiring
bidders to show how they benefit Canada’s economy.
 The ironic aspect to the liberal statement above is that CPC was looking for similar
benefits with the F35 plane - https://globalnews.ca/news/1022291/controversial-f-35-
purchase-could-bank-canadian-businesses-9-9-billion/
 Liberals are consistent that is reverse everything the CPC has done!!!
 BTW: Liberals have not learned from the past with the submarines, right?
https://www.thestar.com/opinion/editorials/2016/06/07/cheap-subs-are-no-bargain-
editorial.html This cost the government over $2.6B. (You know what they say about
history? “If you do not remember history then you deemed to make the same
mistakes”
 It is also sad that Liberals do not grasp the economic benefit of Boeing to Canada -

 “Scheer rolls out an ambitious defence agenda, but critics ask: Where's the money?”

 Scheer would need to focus on the procurement area including establishing better controls over waste and mismanagement -

 Scheer could phased out equipment sooner as it is costing allot of money to maintenance - http://jrobertsinc.com/maintaining-and-

30-year-old-fighter-jets-from-australia-in-snub-to-us
 Scheer would introduced economic policies that would encourage FDI as such could lead to higher GDP growth. Trudeau is killing the
economy with his tax and overregulating of the economy -

 Canada forces needs to keep modernizing itself. Harper had the Canadian Forces on the right path. Trudeau decided a different approach
which has been abject failure - https://www.slideshare.net/paulyoungcga/what-is-happen-with-canada-military-spending

28. Oversight / Shipbuilding
Source - https://nationalpost.com/news/federal-shipbuilding-program-poorly-managed-and-lacks-oversight-government-adviser-warns
In a series of reports obtained by Postmedia through Access to Information legislation, Steve Brunton says
this could result in both ballooning costs to taxpayers and a potential gap in navy capabilities.
“In its current form,” he writes in a February 2016 report, federal agencies “will not be able to cope with the
pace of the programme in full flow.” He adds that he doesn’t think the level of risk involved in the massive
shipbuilding program is fully understood by the government.
The government has promised two new supply ships for the Royal Canadian Navy and 15 new warships to
replace existing Halifax-class frigates. These will form the backbone of Canada’s future naval defence.
The construction of supply ships, contracted to Seaspan in Vancouver, has already faced delays. If
delivery of surface combatants isn’t carefully coordinated, Brunton warns in his reports, the navy could be
left short on available warships.

29. What’s next
 The government needs to continue to modernized the fleet, i.e.
helicopters, ships, drones, etc.
 More oversight into procurement including cost controls
 Government needs to invest in the North like Iqaluit or other ports
 More joint work with the USA on securing the North
 Streamlining and fixing the Veterans Affairs ministry
 Selling off of assets / building
