“More people are joining the Canadian military than at any time in the last 30 years. Applications have doubled to over 45,000 in the past year, and we beat our goal by recruiting over 7,300 full-time members. Our government is proud to rebuild and fund our armed forces.”
“Mr. Speaker, I rise to share some news that is great for Canada and for the Canadian Armed Forces. We confirmed this week that Canadian Armed Forces recruitment has reached its highest level in 30 years. The number of applications has more than doubled over the past year, reaching over 45,000. On top of that, we have recruited 7,310 regular force members, surpassing our target. Our soldiers, sailors and aviators do important and incredible work. We need more of them. The Canadian Armed Forces’ continued recruiting success signals much more than progress. It reflects a renewed strength at the core of our military. Our government is proud to reinvest in our forces to rearm them and rebuild them.”
