‘A priority’

Dear Editor:

During the federal Liberal Party leadership debates, it was noted that we need to bring our military spending to two per cent of GDP. I agree.

The one thing that was mentioned was increasing wages. That is not practical because not only do we need equipment, we need two Arctic bases. This is a priority.

So with the people that serve our nation why would you not forgive their income tax? Yes, they should serve tax free. They can pay there share of income tax when they retire because then you are an ordinary citizen.

I believe it to be dual serving while we get the best possible people without wasteful spending. The cost or loss of income tax would be minimal.
