Slower phase-down, production first

Defence

Higher spending and more capability

The other end of this axis: Restrain spending and deployments

Excerpt explicitly backs large spending increases and NATO target progress.

First and foremost, through this policy we are increasing defence spending by $8.1 billion over the next five years and $73 billion over the next 20 years. This translates to 1.76% of GDP spent on defence by 2029-30, which is a significant step toward reaching our NATO commitment of 2%. We developed the policy based on extensive consultation with the Canadian public, indigenous partners, industry, parliamentarians, defence experts, allies and partners, with the goal of ensuring that the policy provides the equipment we need to protect our country and our continent, to stay engaged with allies and partners across the globe, and to better support our people in uniform.

The other end of this axis: Provinces lead

Fiscal policy

Higher taxes and public spending

The other end of this axis: Lower taxes and tighter spending

Excerpts support large fiscal stimulus and going further in spending as needed.

Minister, can you comment on where Canada's COVID-19 economic response plan stands relative to our needs in comparison to similar fiscal stimulus and aid packages announced by other countries around the world? How do we know if we are doing enough? How willing and able is the government to go further in our spending as the situation evolves?

Foreign affairs

Assertive alliances and sanctions

The other end of this axis: Alliance restraint

Excerpt calls for continued aid until victory against Russia.

Canada will always stand with Ukraine. Besides taking in 200,000 refugees, we have provided $13 billion of military and humanitarian aid. Let us not repeat the mistakes we made before World War II. Ukrainians are fighting and dying against tyranny for all of us.

Stronger unions and standards

The other end of this axis: More flexibility for employers

Excerpts support wage subsidies and emergency benefits for workers.

Trade

Deeper continental integration

The other end of this axis: Diversify away from one partner

Excerpts emphasize protecting cross-border supply chains and export opportunities.

Wilson, what effect has COVID-19 had on the cross-border supply chains needed to manufacture certain products? Are certain industries feeling the effects of this crisis more than others? Is there anything the federal government can do to support and protect these supply chains?
