IV | DEPARTMENT OF NATIONAL DEFENCE
MINISTER’S MESSAGE It is my pleasure to present to Parliament and Canadians the 2011‐12 Report on Plans and Priorities for the Department of National Defence and the Canadian Forces (DND/CF) 1 . Canadians are rightly proud of the enormous contributions made by the DND and CF to protecting Canadians and supporting our interests and values, including by contributing to security and humanitarian operations. In 2011‐12, the DND and CF will continue to ensure operational excellence by fulfilling the roles and missions outlined in the Canada First Defence Strategy (CFDS) – defending Canada and Canadians, remaining a strong and reliable partner in the defence of North America, and contributing to international peace and security. The DND and CF are prepared to protect our citizens, respond to natural disasters and conduct search and rescue operations anywhere in Canada. The CF support the Government in exercising sovereignty in Canada’s North by conducting routine and contingency missions in the region, such as Operation NANOOK. The DND and CF maintain our partnership with the United States in the defence of North America through activities such as collaboration within the North American Aerospace Defence Command (NORAD) and bilateral talks. We are strengthening the relationship with our most important ally through bilateral training and exercises, which ensure the continued interoperability of our armed forces and the defence of our shared continent. Canadians recognize the sacrifices and achievements of the CF in Afghanistan. The DND and CF will maintain operational excellence abroad as we transition the Afghanistan mission to a non‐combat training role. As demonstrated by their rapid and effective response to events in Newfoundland and Labrador and in Haiti, the CF remains prepared to deploy elsewhere at home and around the world as requested by the Government. Continuing to deliver on our CFDS commitments while beginning the non‐combat training mission in Afghanistan requires that resources are optimized to deliver on commitments, including by providing our military with the best training to ensure they can deploy rapidly. We are also increasing the flexibility of our investment plan to procure and maintain the equipment and infrastructure we need now and in the future. Through this balanced approach, the CF will remain an agile and flexible military, capable of meeting the needs of Canadians. While investments help modernize and rebuild the CF, they also continue to have a positive impact on Canadian communities by creating economic opportunities across the country. I am honoured to lead this great national institution and I am proud of the professionalism and commitment demonstrated by the CF and the department’s civilian personnel. I look forward to working with Parliament and Canadians on strengthening every aspect of the Defence Team. Original signed by: The Honourable Peter MacKay, P.C., M.P.
