Key figures
There’s highways moving under construction now, $35 billion is the defence spending being talked about.
It costs $300 million and it’s another 3,000 feet and it’s still not complete and that affects our Arctic sovereignty and security.

Trudeau had planned to spend $154 billion, Carney’s at $328, $329 billion.
