Minister of National Defence Anita Anand is expected to make an announcement about Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) infrastructure in the National Capital Region on Tuesday.

She will be joined by the Hon. Mona Fortier, President of the Treasury Board and member of Parliament for Ottawa—Vanier, and Jenna Sudds, member of Parliament for Kanata—Carleton.

Earlier this month, Anand promised to fast-track the purchase of several weapon systems for Canadian soldiers in Europe, even as senior commanders painted a stark picture of the numerous other challenges facing Canada’s military.

That included a frank assessment of the military’s ongoing personnel crisis, calls for more urgency in upgrading North America’s defences, and a warning from Canada’s top military commander that the country is falling behind its enemies.
