Canadian Armed Forces - Are You Prioritizing Training?

The minister who managed to secure tens of millions of Covid-19 vaccines gets the toughest job in government as a thank you. or much of the past year, barely a month has gone by without a new sexual harassment or assault scandal in the Canadian Armed Forces — and all too often those scandals have involved some of the military’s top ranked officials.

What challenges will Anand face and where should she start if this is to be the reform that actually works?
