Despite all the promises that have been comming throughout the winter, we will not be seeing a new White Paper. The CBC has reported that Art Eggleton will present a new "discussion paper" on the Canadian Forces next week. He will then hold public consultations through the summer and spring.
Full storySources told the CBC that the discussion paper will ask whether Canada should make decisions such as buying light equipment rather than more traditional heavily armoured vehicles. But in a recent interview, Prime Minister Jean Chrétien said he‘s reluctant to spend a lot of money on equipment.
The discussion period should end just in time for the next budget.
