Canada is back on the world stage as a peacekeeper. The Liberal government says Canada is ready to provide money and troops for peacekeeping missions around the world. Defence Minister Harjit Sajjan says several hundred Canadian soldiers including engineers and medical units will be committed to future peacekeeping operations. The government is also setting aside 450 million dollars over three years for projects that promote peace and security around the world, including the deployment of police officers and civilian experts. The U-N says 75 Canadian police officers and nine military experts were participating in missions as of the end of July.
