I think that most Canadians can see right through this.

Canada does not want to spend more on their military so commit to missions so that Harjit Sajjan can repeat the double speak of saying that Canada is punching above it's weight in NATO. Won't work, Canada is one of the worst cheapskates in the alliance when it comes to military spending and the US Administration knows it. 

Sorry Liberals we will be forced to pay 2% of GDP on National Defense whether you like it or not.
