Two years ago, I had the opportunity to tour our Edmonton base, behind the scenes, with a relative who is an officer in the PPCLI.

I saw the LAV garage, with more than 1/2 the vehicles disassembled, awaiting reconditioned parts, not new, reconditioned. I saw the aging arms and other equipment in the armoury stores.

The Canadian Forces are kept on a starvation diet. Have been for decades.

A bureaucratic exercise in re-labelling what does or does not qualify as military spending will not change that reality.
