In late October, the Ottawa Citizen published details about an initiative, developed by Chief of the Defence Staff Gen. Jennie Carignan and Deputy Minister Stefanie Beck to significantly boost the numbers of personnel in the ranks.
The mobilization scheme, put in motion on May 31, 2025, outlines the need to increase the current reserve force from 23,561 to 100,000 and to boost supplementary and other reserves from the current 4,384 to 300,000.
