With recruitment down, equipment in desperate need of repair and global threats rising, The Trudeau Liberals look to slash defence spending.
It’s not like there aren’t savings and cost restructuring to be found in the military, last year DND allowed $2.5 billion of allocated spending to lapse, meaning they just never got around to spending it. The year before it was $1.2 billion of budgeted spending that was allowed to lapse.
A budget cut won’t solve that problem or the problems of underfunding. It won’t even solve the problem the Liberals seem obsessed with which is turning the military into a climate change fighting force.Twice during the committee meeting Thursday, Liberal MPs asked about the ability of the military to respond to climate change and the growing number of natural disasters.
Now, we are so short staffed that we can’t lead or participate in a security force for Haiti as gang violence overruns the country and undermines the government of one of our neighbours.
