Hey this isn't me saying you are wrong but when I read
32. Whenever the Governor in Council places the Canadian Forces or any component or unit thereof on active service, if Parliament is then separated by an adjournment or prorogation that will not expire within ten days, a proclamation shall be issued for the meeting of Parliament within ten days, and Parliament shall accordingly meet and sit on the day appointed by the proclamation, and shall continue to sit and act in like manner as if it had stood adjourned or prorogued to the same day.
National Defence Act, R.S.C. 1985, c. N-5
This says "If it already happened, and then there is a prorogation over 10 days, they need to recall parliament, and a new parliamentary session will commence. "
Nothing in here states the ability to call upon the reserve force, but I've found the N.D.A. which I'm geussing will have specifics. Once again though thank you for your answers.
It seems to be here
31. (1) The Governor in Council may place the Canadian Forces or any component, unit or other element thereof or any officer or non-commissioned member thereof on active service anywhere in or beyond Canada at any time when it appears advisable to do so
(a) by reason of an emergency, for the defence of Canada;
(b) in consequence of any action undertaken by Canada under the United Nations Charter; or
(c) in consequence of any action undertaken by Canada under the North Atlantic Treaty, the North American Aerospace Defence Command Agreement or any other similar instrument to which Canada is a party.
33. (1) The regular force, all units and other elements thereof and all officers and non-commissioned members thereof are at all times liable to perform any lawful duty.
Liability in case of reserve force
(2) The reserve force, all units and other elements thereof and all officers and non-commissioned members thereof
(a) may be ordered to train for such periods as are prescribed in regulations made by the Governor in Council; and
(b) may be called out on service to perform any lawful duty other than training at such times and in such manner as by regulations or otherwise are prescribed by the Governor in Council.
Exception in case of reserve force
(3) Nothing in subsection (2) shall be deemed to impose liability to serve as prescribed therein, without his consent, on an officer or non-commissioned member of the reserve force who is, by virtue of the terms of his enrolment, liable to perform duty on active service only.

I was confused as I thought I heard someone say that Parliament had to approve a mobilization - that is the commons, senate and Govenor General(Queen). However it seems only the GiC with the govenor generals consent (As part of the GiC) is required for mobilization. I thought it was one of those vote things, for foreign deployment. Is this the case, it is up to the GiC, not the commons and senate to mobilize the reserve for foreign deployments?
Does this mean there are multiple reserve entry options? Is this a comment on primary, supplimentary, cadets, and rangers. Or are there specific entry which vary - eg primary who agree to serve on active service as part of their enrollment in the reserve, ect...
Just currious about this as the subject was started.
