"The Trudeau government has already started consulting on how best to increase Canadian involvement in UN peacekeeping efforts, say experts involved in the new process. […] it was part of the first steps toward fulfilling the Liberal campaign promise to re-engage Canada in peace operations. The government will also be conducting public consultations, Mr. Dorn said. Ultimately, it will produce what will be known as a Peace Operations Strategy."

« The Honourable Stéphane Dion, Minister of Foreign Affairs, the Honourable Harjit S. Sajjan, Minister of National Defence, and the Honourable Ralph Goodale, Minister of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness, and the Honourable Marie-Claude Bibeau, Minister of International Development and La Francophonie, today announced the launch of Global Affairs Canada’s new Peace and Stabilization Operations Program (PSOPs) and the pledge of up to 600 Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) personnel to be available for possible deployment to UN peace operations. […] Working with Canadian public and private sector partners, PSOPs will serve as an essential platform for tackling the causes and effects of conflict and preventing their escalation or return by increasing Canada’s support for UN peace operations. […] The Canadian Armed Forces are prepared to contribute personnel across a range of available capabilities, which could include ground troops, leadership for command and headquarters positions, air transport, engineering and medical expertise, military and police training, and capacity building, in order to make a meaningful contribution to peace operations.
