Hellyer cites final steps toward single unified Canadian force
Defence Minister Paul Hellyer told the Commons defence committee that full integration has reached the final steps toward a single unified force. He outlined remaining issues including a common uniform designation and the force name while noting improvements in pay, housing, and education alongside earlier inequities across the three services. He cited a 17 percent year two growth in recruiting and an 82 percent re-engagement rate, with monetary gains from integration seen in reduced operating costs and increased equipment funding. He added NATO studies since 1963 have not yet defined Canada’s potential new role in the alliance.
