The Department of National Defence, (French : Ministère de la Défense nationale) frequently referred to by its acronym DND, is the department within the government of Canada with responsibility for Canada's military, known as the Canadian Forces. DND is the largest federal department in terms of personnel/employees and budget; there are 65,000 members of the Canadian Forces regular force, 26,000 members of the Canadian Forces primary reserve force, and approximately 29,000 civilian DND support employees. The department's planned spending in Fiscal Year 2008-2009 is C$19.5 billion. In 2006, the government announced a C$17 billion spending program for capital projects. Until a December 2003 reorganization of the federal government, DND was in charge of emergency preparedness and response in Canada, through the Office of Critical Infrastructure and Emergency Preparedness. DND also holds responsibility for the Communications Security Establishment which is an organization staffed by a mixture of civilian and military personnel. DND is led by the Minister of National Defence and is headquartered at National Defence Headquarters (NDHQ) in Ottawa. From Wikipedia under the

I have read several articles at addresses below about Intelligence communities in USA: I'm confused. Would anybody tell me about the hierarchy of such communities? Who is on top? who is the boss at the end? Don't their missions or operations get interfered by the others? I especially want to know how they don't get meddled with each other in CIA, NSA or DIA. Why should the Department of Defence have both NSA and DIA? Asked by hercules_voyage - Fri Apr 13 12:06:15 2007 - - 3 Answers - 1 Comments A. The key things to know are: 1 - No one is on top, regardless of what an hierarchical org chart might show (and this is a big, big problem), 2 - There is not a real boss, just someone who runs around trying to get the different agencies to work together, 3 - Yup, they interfere with each other all the time. The whole thing is a metaphor for our federal government bureaucracy. Answered by Fast Eddie B - Fri Apr 13 12:22:26 2007 What is New Middle East Plan?? Division of Iraq?? Why?

Q. Are U.S and Britain actually involved in sectarian violence in Iraq to divert resistance??? Asked by Ghuffi - Wed Mar 7 04:56:24 2007 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments A. No. The issue with Basra is simply that the British followed a bone-headed policy towards Al Sadr. If the British had kept Sard under control then they would not have had that problem.
