National Defence committee  No.

National Defence committee  We need to be doing more full-spectrum warfare training, not just basic training for soldiers.

National Defence committee  It involves every single thing we have in our ability. I've already discussed that as I went over what is needed, and that includes special forces, diplomatic, legal, economic, and everything else. It's the final thing. We should do everything. We either do nothing or we do somet

National Defence committee  The Canadian military involvement at this particular time is that we've trained 5,000 people and that is sufficient, but what have we trained 5,000 people to do?

National Defence committee  No, definitely not.

I asked why we didn't deal with this that way. I used the words “whole-of-government”. I think everyone I've listened to talk
