National Defence
During question period on national defence, the Conservatives raised concerns about instructions issued over the summer telling military chaplains not to reference God in prayers or spiritual reflections, saying this contradicts a unanimous motion the House had passed, and asking the minister to explain the decision and confirm chaplains would not be disciplined for mentioning God. The Liberal minister replied that the Canadian Armed Forces is strengthened by the diversity of its members’ beliefs, that chaplain guidelines are set by the Royal Canadian Chaplain Service and military leadership to support members of all faiths, and that the rules do not ban private faith.Written by AI from the debate.
