As a two-day summit on peacekeeping kicks off in Vancouver, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is still teasing out Canada's long-awaited announcement, saying only that Canada's plan would satisfy both the UN and "Canadian values." As CBC reported last week, multiple sources say Canada is ready to offer the United Nations a list of high-end equipment and troops who could train peacekeepers from other countries for dangerous deployments. But we're waiting for the Canadian government to come up with a final decision," said Lacroix, who is responsible for managing all peacekeeping operations. Jean-Pierre Lacroix, UN undersecretary general for peacekeeping operations, says the Trudeau government still has not made a decision on where it will send Canadian peacekeepers. Representatives from 80 countries will be at the peacekeeping summit in B.C on Tuesday and Wednesday.
