Since November 2015, the Department of National Defence (DND) has spent over $9.5 million on consultants and contractors for diversity, equity, and inclusion programs in the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF), according to documents.
The figures were published in a reply to an Inquiry of Ministry filed by Conservative MP Cheryl Gallant who asked what the total value of federal contracts was relating to diversity, equity, and inclusion in the CAF since the Liberal Party took power in 2015, as first covered by Blacklock’s Reporter.
