Is Canada’s Navy Prepared For the New Global Security Environment?

In this episode of the Expert Series podcast, we meet with Tim Addison, Norman Jolin, and Adam Lajeunesse to discuss the current state of Canada's security challenges and our Navy’s capacity. Addison highlights the particular security challenges Canada faces in the 21st century, and notes the importance of an immediate response given the delays in ship procurement while Jolin analyzes the importance of Canada’s military towards our economic relations, and argues that Canada could face economic consequences if Canada does not take these threats seriously. Lajeunesse discusses whether Canada’s Navy is prepared to tackle this new era of security, and how we may better prepare ourselves. He also touches on concerns with military procurement and the lack of adequately trained forces to man Canada's ships and submarines.The CDA Institute is a non-partisan think tank that conducts research and education programming on defence and security.Learn more: CDA Institute
