Canadian soldiers were sent to Poland last October, with more sent in February and March. In all, there are about 100 Canadian soldiers in Poland. They are there as part of Operation Unifier to train Ukrainian forces in “battlefield tactics and advanced military skills.”
But the Canadian Armed Forces didn’t send a cook with them. Our soldiers were told to eat out at local restaurants and turn in their receipts to be paid back.
Except they aren’t being reimbursed. Like seemingly everything else in the federal government, there is a months-long backlog in processing their expense claims.
