There will be money set aside in today’s federal budget for the Department of National Defence (DND) — much of it linked to the implementation of the new defence policy released with great fanfare last week by the Liberal government after more than two years of study.

Skeptical Conservative MPs ripped into the defence plan Monday and demanded action over words.
