JULY 20TH: NATIONAL DEFENCE ROUNDTABLE DISCUSSION

With the Hon. John McKay, M.P., Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of National Defence

Talk 1

Minister Harjit Sajjan and the Department of National Defence (DND) have launched public consultations in the development of a new defence policy for Canada.

Join Rob and the Hon. John McKay for the first Talk of the 2016 consultation series, Democracy Talks, to provide your input and advice on the National Defence Policy Review. The discussion will be focused on three fundamental areas:

  1. The main challenges to Canada’s security
  2. The role of the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) in addressing current threats and challenges
  3. 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.
