Increase in Canadian Defence Budget This Year
Ottawa Canada’s defence budget, at a peacetime high, may rise further this year. Current military costs are about 383 million dollars annually, with estimates near 490 to 800 million, approaching 20 percent of the national budget. Reports from Washington suggest US defence aims to cut by ten percent, but Canadian officials doubt success without hurting forces. The Canadian forces are in an expensive re equipment phase, with two main cost drivers the anti submarine vessels for the Royal Canadian Navy and new jet fighter planes for the Royal Canadian Air Force.
