“Our province is home to a significant portion of Canada\u2019s military assets, including the country\u2019s most populated military base, CFB Halifax, the regional office of NATO\u2019s Defence Innovation Accelerator for the North Atlantic (DIANA), and the Canadian Coast Guard College<\/a> in Westmount.
“I look forward to hearing from Prime Minister Carney details for Nova Scotia\u2019s involvement in Canada\u2019s renewed focus on defence.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
