联邦国防部长大卫·麦金蒂（David McGuinty）提醒阿尔伯塔省民注意数十亿美元的军事开支，并强调一个强大的加拿大离不开一个强大的阿尔伯塔省。
Federal Defence Minister David McGuinty is reminding Albertans of billions of dollars in military spending and that a strong Canada includes a strong Alberta.
在他的这番言论发表之际，阿尔伯塔省民正准备在10月19日的联邦制公投中投票。
His comments come as Albertans prepare to vote on Confederation in the Oct. 19 referendum.
麦金蒂与阿尔伯塔省省长丹ielle·史密斯（Danielle Smith）一同站在埃德蒙顿加拿大军队基地，表示该省提醒了加拿大人如何思考和建设宏伟的目标。
McGuinty, with Alberta Premier Danielle Smith standing beside him at Canadian Forces Base Edmonton, says the province reminds Canadians how to think and build big.
他还表示，联邦制是代代相传的国家契约，是通过加拿大人彼此之间的付出（特别是在战时）而不断续写的。
He also says Confederation is a national bargain renewed through generations by what Canadians do for one another, particularly in wartime.
预算监督机构指出，到2035年，对加拿大军队的直接支出可能达到1630亿加元以上。麦金蒂重申，阿尔伯塔省正在获得80亿加元的持续支出，其中包括5.5亿加元用于为空军CC-330“哈士奇”机队建立西部作战基地。
Direct spending on Canadian military could reach more than $163B by 2035: budget watchdog McGuinty repeated that Alberta is receiving $8 billion in ongoing spending, including $550 million to establish the western operating base for the Air Force's CC-330 Husky fleet.
史密斯表示，这笔资金将阿尔伯塔省置于防空的前沿，并认同这一宣布表明加拿大和渥太华可以合作。
Smith says the funding puts Alberta at the forefront of air defence and agrees the announcement shows Canada and Ottawa can work together.
公投选票上有10个问题，包括该省是否应该留在加拿大，或就脱离该国举行第二次具有约束力的公投。
There are 10 questions on the referendum ballot, including whether the province should stay in Canada or hold a second, binding referendum on leaving the country.
