The West Block: June 26, 2022 | Taking stock of Canada's NORAD spending promises

In an interview on this week's edition of "The West Block," Chief of the Defence Staff Gen.

Defence Minister Anita Anand had said a promised $4.9-billion upgrade would come from new money, before correcting that the money was part of $8 billion in new spending promised in the last federal budget.
