Focus our study

I think in looking at that question by Nadeem on from a relative point of view in terms of other countries, it may skew the responses of our surveyors. For example, people may look at those stats and say well US spends significantly more than we do...so we must increase our spending on defense. In my opinion, looking at this question from a relativist perspective may skew the answers that people may give.

The question could potentially be worded:

Canada currently spends this much ____ as a percentage of GDP on defense. Do you think Canada should increase or decrease its defense spending next year.

1. Increase significantly 2. Increase 3. No Change 4. Decrease 5. Decrease significantly

maybe asking it in those terms would be better...
