About the review:
The Department of National Defence (DND) has launched public consultations in the development of a new defence policy for Canada.
From now until July 31, 2016, we will be engaging all Canadians and many key stakeholders to discuss three fundamental areas:
- The main challenges to Canada’s security
- The role of the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) in addressing current threats and challenges
- The resources and capabilities needed to carry out the CAF mandate
Defending Canada and protecting Canadians is the Government’s most fundamental responsibility. This review will provide the clarity needed to balance priorities, respond to emerging challenges, and invest appropriately in Canada’s military.
