Canada's top general is forcefully rejecting the notion that Canada's new peacekeeping commitment isn't in line with the Liberal government's initial promise. The plan unveiled on Wednesday called for up to 200 ground troops, transport and armed helicopters, cargo planes and military trainers for future United Nations peacekeeping operations. That's not true, that's one smart pledge," Vance told CBC Radio's The House from the Halifax International Security Forum. Liberals criticized for falling short"We are making these pledges today, because we believe in the United Nations and we believe in peacekeeping," Trudeau said. "There will be 600… very likely 600 troops deployed doing that," he said.
