The truth is that even if funding for the Canadian Navy were to be increased dramatically – an unlikely eventuality – the Navy would resist taking on a new coastal role simply because it has so many other priorities to fill after years of under-funding, to the point that Navy officials have announced that the Navy is essentially taking a pause for a year off in an attempt to regenerate the institution.
La vérité, c’est que même si on augmente considérablement le financement de la Marine canadienne – ce qui est peu probable – celle-ci résisterait à accepter un nouveau rôle sur les côtes pour la simple raison que ses priorités sont nombreuses après des années de sous-financement.
