Perhaps, then, I can have you comment on this. A recent Canadian Forces general message announced that the federal government is going to cut at least $1 billion from the already underfunded defence budget. General Eyre characterized this announcement as “difficult”.
Mr. Crosby, can we have your assurance that this announcement will have no negative effects on DND's ability to support the CAF's operational capacity or on DND's ability to procure the kit our troops need to do their jobs effectively and safely?
