For the first time since the 1980s, the NATO military alliance confirms that Canada has met its two per cent of GDP target for defence spending. Defence Minister David McGuinty tells Power & Politics how Canada will reach the next target of five per cent spending, and reveals the different ways Canada could offer military support after a ceasefire in the Strait of Hormuz. Plus, B.C. Attorney General Niki Sharma calls on Ottawa to legislate age restrictions on social media, saying a full ban on certain ages 'has a lot of benefits.'
