The Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) is struggling to recruit enough members to meet its operational requirements and does not have enough adequate housing for its members, according to two new reports by Canada’s Auditor General Karen Hogan.
Hogan’s Oct. 21 report said that on average, the CAF successfully recruited around one in every 13 applicants over the last three years.
“The armed forces also did not have sufficient basic training capacity to meet the demand if the recruitment targets had been met,” Auditor General Karen Hogan told the Public Accounts Committee on Oct. 21 while presenting her findings.
