Immigration - infrastructure has to define the level of immigration. This includes housing availability. You can't destroy the standard of living for people already in Canada, based on a metric saying that we need more people, without including all available variables.
Military - funding is way below where it should be, for way too long. I actually think that it would now cost way too much to rebuild a conventional military from what is essentially Scratch. Some outside of the box thinking is needed. Funding and follow through.
Environment- Canada has really very little effect on climate change. We like to think that we are big players, but we are not. And we don't lead anyone by example. No one is watching. Make money hand over fist, and then mandate a good portion of the windfall into solving global problems, that you would give the world for free.

Building an Arctic presence supported by ice breakers, subs, and drones seems like a priority and a way to build capability without as much new personnel as the land forces. Sounds like that's Carney's plan, I assume Poilievre's too. The Arctic is where the action will be in the second half of the century when navigation is year-round.
Edit: not sure about the less personnel part, but it's definitely a way to spend $ in a hurry!
