Canada’s top soldier will find out on the weekend whether she has been selected to lead NATO’s military committee at a time when the defence alliance faces some of the most difficult challenges in its history.
NATO’s chiefs of defence will meet Sept. 18 in Denmark as the military committee discusses ways to further strengthen the alliance, deal with new defence technologies and boost support for Ukraine.
But it will be a secret vote among the military leaders on Sept. 19 which will determine if Canada’s Chief of the Defence Staff Gen. Jennie Carignan will be named as chair of the military committee (CMC) — NATO’s top military role.
