Canada to provide up to 25 personnel for NATO AWACS program

Canada will provide up to 25 personnel over the next five years to NATO’s Airborne Warning and Control System program, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced at the NATO summit.
In February, the Liberal government announced it was reversing a 2011 decision by the previous Conservative government that saw Canada withdraw from NATO’s AWACS program.
The Conservative government decided at that time to end participation in the airborne early warning plane program to save money. Canada&rs
