Challenges Ahead for Jennie Carignan, Canadian chief of the defence staff [Video]

Lt.-Gen. Jennie Carignan has officially assumed command of the Canadian Armed Forces as the new chief of the defence staff. She becomes the first woman to hold this prestigious position in Canada. Carignan, a combat engineer, has a remarkable career history, commanding missions in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Bosnia. She takes over at a challenging time for the Canadian military, facing personnel shortages and aging equipment. The CAF has been struggling to meet NATO’s readiness requirements, with only 58% currently capable of responding to crises. Despite these challenges, Carignan inherits a significant budget allocation for military reinvestment. Prime Minister Trudeau aims to increase defence spending to meet NATO’s two per cent GDP target by 2032. Carignan’s appointment signifies a significant milestone for women in the military.
