What is the future of Defence, and how should the Defence Team of tomorrow look?

Canadians will get to have their say in shaping the Nation’s defence policy through a series of collaborative and interactive public consultations, undertaken by the federal government.

On April 6, Harjit Singh Sajjan, Minister of National Defence, announced the Government of Canada’s (GoC’s) intent to consult with Canadians about the future of Defence.

The objective of the public consultations is to promote the governement’s commitment to open and transparent dialogue with Canadians, and other key stakeholders, including members of the Defence Team, in the development of the new Defence Policy.

These consultation sessions are focused on a number of themes and priorities, but focus on three fundamental areas of enquiry:

What are the main threats and challenges to Canadian national security?

What role do you see for the military in addressing potential threats?

How should the Canadian Armed Forces be equipped and resourced to carry out these tasks?  

These discussions will take place in cities across Canada from April to July. All Canadians are encouraged participate online www.defenceconsultations.ca/online-workbook.
