We need to spend about $3 B per year more on equipment, training and readiness. That's coincidentally, about what the Conservatives cut. That's the problem with all of this. They increased the size of the CF and created a plan.
My understanding is they SAID they were going to increase the size of the CF but didn't. As far as a 'plan' went their only plan was to cut spending across the board so they could claim they had balanced the budget in time for the election. They figured that would be all it would take to get re-elected.
