[INDISCERNIBLE]. >> PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: WELL, WE'LL PUT THEM ON A PAYMENT PLAN, YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING? WE'LL PUT THEM ON A PAYMENT PLAN. I'M SURE THE PRIME MINISTER WOULD LOVE THAT. WHAT ARE WE ASKING? WHAT ARE WE TALKING ABOUT? >> PRIME MINISTER JUSTIN TRUDEAU: THE NUMBER WE'RE TALKING ABOUT IS 70% INCREASE OVER THESE PAST YEARS AND FOR THE COMING YEARS. WE ARE INCREASING SIGNIFICANTLY OUR DEFENCE SPENDING, FROM PREVIOUS GOVERNMENTS TO CUT. >> PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: WHERE ARE YOU NOW? >> PRIME MINISTER JUSTIN TRUDEAU: WE'RE AT ONE FOURTH. WE'RE LEADING IN LATVIA. WE CONTINUE TO STEP UP. CANADA CONTINUES TO BE A SOLID RELIABLE PARTNER. >> REPORTER: CANADA IS LEADING AND HELPING BUILD THE MILITARY -- THE NATO BRIGADE IN LATVIA, BUT THAT MAY NOT BE ENOUGH TO STEM CRITICISMS BY A TRUMP ADMINISTRATION. NEW FIGURES FROM NATO HIGHLIGHT THE DISCONNECT AND SHOW CANADA SIXTH FROM THE BOTTOM IN TERMS OF THE NATO 2% METRIC. CANADA'S FORMER AMBASSADOR TO NATO IS CARRIE BUCK. >> WE'RE THE ONLY ALLY THAT SITS IN THAT QUADRANT OF SHAME WHERE WE DON'T EITHER MEET 2% OF TOTAL G.D.P. ON DEFENCE TARGET OR 20% OF OUR DEFENCE SPENDING ON RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT, PROCUREMENT, AND EQUIPMENT. SO IT HITS US POLITICALLY, IT MAKES US A TARGET WHEN THE WHOLE ALLIANCE IS ROWING TOWARDS THIS GOAL OF 2% AND THE THOUGHT OF A GROWING WAR TARGET AND WE SIT THERE DOING NOTHING. >> REPORTER: THE LAST TIME THAT CANADA MET ITS 2% SPENDING TARGET WAS THE 1980S. TO MEET THAT GOAL, CANADA WOULD HAVE TO SPEND $18 BILLION MORE ANNUALLY, BRINGING THE TOTAL DEFENSE BUDGET TO $64 MILLION. >> WE WON'T GET KICKED OUT OF NATO, BUT WHEN YOU MAKE A POINT AT THE NORTH ATLANTIC COUNCIL TABLE, YOUR VOICE CARRIES LESS WEIGHT BECAUSE YOU NEED TO PUT YOUR MONEY WHERE YOUR MOUTH IS. >> REPORTER: IT'S NOT LIKE THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT DOESN'T UNDERSTAND THE ARGUMENT. CHRYSTIA FREELAND PUT IT THIS WAY WHEN SHE WAS FOREIGN MINISTER BACK IN 2017. >> TO RELY SOLELY ON THE U.S. SECURITY UMBRELLA WOULD MAKE US A CLIENT STATE, AND ALTHOUGH WE HAVE AN INCREDIBLY GOOD RELATIONSHIP WITH OUR AMERICAN FRIENDS AND NEIGHBOURS, SUCH A DEPENDENCE WOULD NOT BE IN CANADA'S INTEREST. THAT'S WHY DOING OUR FAIR SHARE IS CLEARLY NECESSARY. >> REPORTER: NEITHER THE LIBERALS NOR THE CONSERVATIVES HAVE COMMITTED TO A CLEAR PLAN TO MEET NATO'S GOAL, SAYING CANADA WILL WORK TOWARDS THE 2% TARGET. FUZZY LANGUAGE THAT STANDS IN CONTRAST TO THE WORDS AND DEEDS OF 75 YEARS AGO. >> IAN: AND MURRAY BREWSTER TELLS US TODAY ABOUT A CRITICAL VOICE FROM WITHIN THIS COUNTRY. THE BUSINESS COUNCIL OF CANADA HAS WARNED THE GOVERNMENT THAT FAILING TO MEET THAT 2% TARGET WILL LEAD TO DIPLOMATIC ISOLATION INVOLVING BOTH SECURITY AND ECONOMIC PARTNERSHIPS. >>> NEXT, THE GOLD FISH THAT SEEMINGLY APPEARED OUT OF NOWHERE. >> WHY WOULD THERE BE A FISH IN THE GARDEN? >> IAN: THE LATEST INTERNET CELEBRITY IN OUR "MOMENT." >> Ian: YOU ARE LOOKING AT ALICE, A NORMAL GOLDFISH WITH AN ABNORMAL ARRIVAL AT A U.K. HOME THIS MONTH. WHEN THE NEWS HIT THE WEB DESCRIBING ITS ARRIVAL, IT WENT VIRAL AND BECAME OUR "MOMENT." >> I WENT OUTSIDE AND SAW A FISH ON THE GRASS. IT'S SLIGHTLY SURREAL, SEEING A FISH ON THE GRASS. WHY WOULD THERE BE A FISH IN THE GARDEN? OBVIOUSLY, WHEN YOU SEE A FISH ON THE GRASS, IT'S DEAD, BUT ITS GILLS WERE MOVING. OH, NO. WHAT DO I DO WITH THIS? SO I PICKED UP THE FISH BY ITS TAIL AND PUT IT IN SOME WATER. OH, MY, THERE'S A FISH THAT WAS FOUND HALF DEAD IN THE BACKYARD GARDEN THAT'S NOW ALIVE. THE FISH NOW HAS A TWITTER ACCOUNT NOW. IT WENT FROM ABSOLUTELY NOTHING SO I THINK IT'S HAD MAYBE 20 MILLION VIEWS OR SO ALL OVER THE WORLD. LIKE, ASIA, EUROPE, AMERICAS, YOU KNOW. IT'S ABSOLUTELY BONKERS. THEY STARTED SELLING T-SHIRTS. I'VE ACTUALLY BOUGHT ONE OF THE T-SHIRTS. THE WHOLE SITUATION IS TRULY BONKERS. >> Ian: SO BEN TEXTED A FRIEND TO SAY "IT'S ALIVE," BUT IT WAS AUTO CORRECTED TO "IT'S ALICE," RESULTING IN ITS NAME. ALICE, REGRETFULLY, IS NO LONGER ALIVE, AS FISH DO DIE. >>> THAT'S IT FOR US TONIGHT. I'M -- FOR NEWS
