If we care to calculate our military spending as a percentage of our national gross domestic product, a non-partisan conservative calculation would show that it hovers between 1.1% and 1.2% of Canada's GDP. This is the third worst record in all of NATO, only better than Iceland and Luxembourg, two nations with populations of roughly 275,000 and 450,000 respectively.
Un calcul prudent montre qu'il tourne autour de 1,1 ou 1,2 p. 100. C'est le pire bilan de tous les pays de l'OTAN, exception faite de l'Islande et du Luxembourg, deux pays dont la population s'élève à environ 275 000 et 450 000 habitants respectivement.
