Conduct an open and transparent defence strategy review.

What success looks like

Canada now has a new defence policy that was built on extensive input from Canadians and delivers the standard of service and care that current and former Canadian Armed Forces members deserve.

Government's narrative on progress

In June 2017, the government launched Canada’s new defence policy: Strong, Secure, Engaged. This followed extensive external consultations with the Canadian public, Parliamentarians, defence experts, and allies and partners. The policy allocates realistic funding to projects that will keep the military running efficiently and effectively for years to come, and ensure Canada remains a trusted and capable ally. Through this policy, the government is building an even stronger military and, most importantly, is delivering the standard of service and care that Canada’s women and men in uniform deserve.

Note: this is the government's own description, not an independent assessment.
