Description
In recent years the Canadian Forces have undergone dramatic changes. Bases have been closed, headquarters consolidated and the forces radically downsized. Budget cuts, problems with leadership and poor living conditions have left many wondering whether the Forces can maintain their commitment to the profession of arms. For over a year the House of Commons Standing Committee on National Defence and Veterans Affairs held hearings that focused on issues that affect the daily well being of individual men and women in the Canadian Forces. This article summarizes the findings of the Committee Report entitled "Moving Forward: A Strategic Plan for Quality of Life Improvements in the Canadian Forces" tabled by the Chairman of the Committee, Pat O'Brien in October 1998. Gary Levy is Editor of the Canadian Parliamentary Review.
