For example at CFB Valcartier, the army needs more personnel and resources just to supply existing operational, support, and training units and support existing equipment and infrastructure requirements.
There is also a shortage of trained personnel caused by years of defence budget cuts, which hit the Forces' training system particularly hard and had an impact on enlistment from Quebec.
