He said there has already been increased demand on the Canadian Armed Forces over the last decade to respond to floods, fires and snow storms.In 2021, the military received seven requests to respond to provincial natural disasters. “In other words, the Canadian Armed Forces involvement in response to natural disasters has broadly doubled every five years since 2010,” Prévost said.
“In total, I would say 10,000 short on personnel where we would like to be and for that reason all hands on deck right now in order to recruit and retain as many CAF members as we can,” Prevost said.
