Wounded: Canada's Military And The Legacy Of Neglect

In short: Report 1: The Holes in Canada’s Armed Forces Report 2: What It Will Take to Plug Those Holes Report 3: How Best to Shape Canada’s Military to Pursue the Interests of Our Children and Grandchildren Despite the Committee’s observations on the deficiencies that under-funding have brought to the Canadian Forces, the Committee recognizes that Canada does not have a rag-tag military. Far from it. We are lucky to have a first-class professional fighting force that has served Canadians extremely well. However, our armed forces personnel could serve Canadians even more professionally – and stand a better chance of remaining unharmed – if we would provide them with adequate resources to do so. This Committee’s role is to offer enough insights into the weaknesses that under-funding has caused the forces to convince Canadians – and their government – that funding them appropriately would be a wise investment in Canada’s future. http://www.parl.gc.ca/38/1/parlbus/commbus/senate/com-e/defe-e/rep-e/repintsep05-e.htm [Proofreader's note: this article was edited for spelling and typos on October 3, 2005]
