"Canada's national defence policies should be improved by an increase in funding to strenghten Canada's international Reputation (Economic, political etc...)"

I think the first part about national defense policies is misleading. Policy is different than programs, because of this an increase in funding does not necessarily relate to a change positively or negatively to policy. However a change in funding to programs could improve a country's reputation/role in the international community

I think the wording should be changed in Bentley's question to say:

Canada should increase funding to national defense programs in order to improve Canada's (overall?) international reputation

Strongly disagree........Strongly agree

or

Canada should increase funding to national defense and peacekeeping programs in order to improve/raise Canada's role in the international community

Strongly disagree........Strongly agree
