What type of military does Canada need?
Cloverdale-Langley City MP John Aldag invites the public to take part in an upcoming town hall discussion on Canada’s national defence policy.
The June 10 forum is from 2:30-4 p.m. at the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 6 Cloverdale.
The federal government has launched public consultation sessions as it develops a new defence policy.
“Canadians deserve the opportunity to contribute to the outcome, which is why we want to hear your views on developing a modern defence policy that will help advance our interests at home and abroad,” Aldag said in a press release.
Among the topics up for discussion are the main challenges to Canada’s security, the role of the Canadian Armed Forces in addressing current threats and challenges and resource and capability requirements in carrying out the military’s mandate.
To July 31, Canadians can also participate online at canada.ca/defence-consultations, where they can read a public consultation paper.
There will also be six cross-country round table meetings ending in July.
