The memorial cup, presented by dow only.on tsn [ ] >> Akshay: welcome back I a bipartisan letter from 23 U.S. senators urging canada to meet its 2 percent major spending. Defence minister bill blair had

this to say in response. >> I would talk to them about the $40 billion we are making and modernization and we know we have work to do and we have acknowledged off from day one and clearly indicated it on budget the path to getting that done. >> Akshay: the letter comes before nato country set to meet in washington in an effort to see countries like canada on the side but another threat looming. >> There is a growing recognition there is a high risk the next president will be president trump and for any senators that see nato as important in lion's that they would like to clear away as many excuses as they can for president trump to take significant action they think would be detrimental to nato or more likely declaring for those who don't pay yep are not going to be protected. >> Akshay: let me bring in peter mckay, former defence minister under prime minister steven harper. Good evening at thank you for your time. What do you the timing of this letter? Your thoughts on this move? >> It is unusual although these rumblings have been going on in washington for some time now and I think it is clearly a move that is intended to increase the pressure on canada frankly in spite of the most recent budget and the defences update and we are still not on pace to meet a 2 percent nato commitment that was made as recently as last year and has been repeatedly made over the years until not to get there until the end of the decade and that's deeply disappointing and worrying to our allies and sends the wrong signal to our adversaries probably the most unstable we've seen in 50 years. >> Akshay: come to the target in just a moment but how do you think the government or the prime minister should respond to this letter especially when it comes to months before the nato summit in washington? >> That's right as he will be on the hot seat along with 12 other countries nearing the bottom of the list of nato and it was recently expanded to include sweden and finland so other countries in fact 18 of 30 to our meeting that 2 percent in other countries moving more rapidly so when prime minister trudeau arrives in washington, you will have to answer better than he did today where he basically sent the question to his defence minister who we heard from earlier today and frankly that message just doesn't cut mustard. In fact we're knocking to see any real increase in the defence budget until after the next election which is also deeply disappointing and worrisome particularly members of the armed forces and their family and not only seeing a decline in readiness and capability at a persistent decline in members of the armed forces of recruitment and retention are ghibli the biggest problem and we heard that from the chief of defence staff. >> Akshay: we heard canada announced a plan of meeting 1.7 percent target at the end of the decade and clearly the senators are not impressed with the target canada has set and aware of the plan the country as has but you think canada can actually meet that 2 percent target looking at the deficits at home and the pressure on the economy? You think this is achievable? >> Yes, and I think it comes down frankly two priorities as we came out of afghanistan in 2013 with our reputation very much and talked and were on the right track frankly the recession at that time did impact but it is really a priority a critical priority given what is happening in the broader world and our commitment to norad and the protection of north america factors into this. Opening of waters into the arctic. We could make a much more specific commitment and get to 2 percent if that was a priority for the government and it is simply not. The senators are not reactionary and I know they are bipartisan people like tim kane as well as others like dan sullivan and mitt romney as americans know canadians that they bend to the halifax security forum and consider canada the most

important ally but are really disappointed and now I suspect quite concerned canada is once again kicking the football down the fields and not giving a hard number in terms of how we are going to get to 2 percent. >> Akshay: I'm glad you brought this up as we know the senators are a mix of democrats and republicans and have been in good standing but let me ask you what's happening with the U.S. as well what he think of the presidential election in the possibility of donald trump coming back could be wing on the minds of the senators because we know where donald trump also stands and how pushy he has been on the subject. >> He has in fact been very direct in his criticism not just of canada but other countries whom he has described as laggard and having sat around nato tables I know what you contribute to nato is in terms of what you're doing and where you're doing it and what those capabilities that nato require really are in terms of equipments and training like this number has become a significant benchmark when measured against other countries and has a lot to do with canada's performance competitively with respect to our economy as to how we will reach out to present so the presidential election which is going to come on the heels of the washington summit is inevitably going to be a factor in terms of how the americans weigh in on the subject matter and it affects them and they are concerned about the vulnerability of the canadian army it was the americans who took that balloon down. The capability gap that is growing is of major concern to our allies particularly of the americans. >> Akshay: we will leave it at that for this evening. Appreciate your time and thank you very much. >> Akshay: canada second-largest passenger airline calling on the federal government to help make canadian airfare cheaper and says it would like the federal government to undertake a comprehensive review of how aviation infrastructure to free some mandatory government fee charges and policies and stop collecting rent at the federal level and says it will continue to work with a partner to attract foreign investors to canadian airport but did not indicate it would heat westjet's call. Question ceo asked about the statement on powerplay with vassy kapelos. >> The people watching hard every single day so therefore I could not agree more as will have to provide a good service but it's not just one side of the alliance with the government from the regular to set the framework so we have to do things together. >> Akshay: aviation management expert see the use of model should be looked at again as finding a replacement is complicated now.

U.S. forecasted of warning could be 25 main storms with as many of 13 of those becoming hurricanes in the hermetic dose hurricane centre painted a similar picture today. >> Reporter: the water is calm right now but the latest forecast for the hurricane season is accurate, these waves will be getting much bigger. >> Record water temperatures in the atlantic and it's lining up to be an active season. >> Reporter: prediction is 25 main storms will form an eight to 13 of them have a potential to become hurricanes. >> We can expect some of the storms to become major hurricanes. >> Reporter: right now, could be as many as seven and all of these tools above the climb average for the season as ocean temperatures in the caribbean and southern atlantic one of the main reasons why this hurricane season is looking ominous. >> It's like bathwater out there. >> Reporter: that's not a good thing. Florida-based meteorologist is troubled by what he sees. >> The warmest temperatures we've ever recorded in most areas so not just a little bit above normal but they are superhigh. >> People are very concerned and worried. >> Reporter: so our officials with the province of nova scotia after major storms of 2022 and 2023, they are preparing ahead of time. >> We have extra equipment we purchase for this year knowing it will be a particularly bad season. >> Reporter: hurricane season runs june 1st until the end of november with most storms forming in august, september and october. Ctv news, halifax. >> Akshay: students at lavalle high school north of montréal walk out today to protest the sexist dress code they say as girls were sent home yesterday for wearing shorts. >> They said it was just for the girls and look at the girls as if they were sexualizing us object if I as saint your shorts are shorter. >> Akshay: according to the school dress code, shorts must be above the knee barely but the school board says comments made to his students reviewed in the teens calling for a change and an apology.

>>> Calls are growing for more security after a triple homicide on tuesday as her have been seven murders in 11 days people are calling for action here. >> Reporter: he's been in shock since tuesday night when he says he witnessed part of a fight between a large group that led to three deaths. >> One of them was kneeling next to his friend putting force on his neck. >> Reporter: saw the event from a six floor balcony and called 911 and watched as first responders arrived. >> Doing cpr for at least an hour. >> Reporter: he says it's common for large groups of young people to gather in this alleyway but in the four years living here, he never saw this type of violence is the fatal stabbings of a 15-year-old boy and two men in their early twenties have left some residents in disbelief.

Ctv news. >> Akshay: bc supreme court ruled it can order the city of surrey to transition policing await to them in a simple force. >> Obviously a huge relief for the people of surrey who just want this done. I want this done and everyone wants this done and it is so important that we take this moment and I encourage the mayor and council to take this moment in the provinces there to close this chapter and move on the longer this transition takes, the more it costs. >> Akshay: transition a key promise of the former mayor but in 2022, a numero elected on the promise to stop it and keep the rcmp but with this decision, the province will continue this transition with or without the cities support.
