The federal Liberals have put a planned expansion of Canada‘s long-neglected army reserves on hold until after the upcoming election, a move critics are calling a betrayal of their promises to rebuild the country‘s military.
David Price, the parliamentary secretary to the Defence Minister with responsibility for the military reserves, told the National Post that about $30-million in funding for more part-time soldiers has been frozen.
He said the money will not be allocated until a full defence and foreign policy review is completed later this year.
"We were asking for the financing to be put in place before the election ... but it really comes down to it being part of the defence review," Mr. Price said.
