The Ross Ellis Annual Memorial Lecture in Military and Strategic Studies
Future Defence and Security Challenges: A Canadian Perspective
By Major-General (ret'd) Cameron Ross
Abstract
Mrs. Ellis senior, Ms. Ellis, Dr. Bercuson, Ladies and Gentlemen.
Thank you very much for inviting me to talk to you today about a subject that I think is very important and in fact, that I think your husband would be most interested in—the fortunes of not just military but the concerns that Canada has in the future.
I am going to talk for a little while off some slides and we will have questions at the end. Ladies and Gentlemen, I am going to cover a number of subjects fairly rapidly. I think it is important to that we have a clear understanding of where we have recently been, Canada and the globe, and where we are right now for us to be able to look into a crystal ball regarding the future and it is that crystal ball that I’ll spend a fair amount of time with.
