Based on the current allocated structure, there is historical precedent to call the formation (as it is now) either 3 Canadian Light Infantry Brigade or 3 Infantry Group. But, the last time CA bundled a bunch of different cap badges into an organization that it called a regiment, that regiment eventually adopted a new cap badge based on the WWII parachute battalion. So, you are probably right.

And it in fact was heavily mechanized with Centurions, M113s, and brand new M109s. When I was going through the RCSA from 69-70, 3 CG had the primary role of being the reinforcement/replacement organization for 4 CMBG which itself was changing dramatically - moving bases and down-sizing. It was a crappy time to be a soldier.

Whelp... looks like a job just came up for our new 'footborne' brigade 
Canada has formally applied to join the U.K.-led Joint Expeditionary Force (JEF), a collection of NATO nations whose mandate is to respond more quickly in a crisis.
Prime Minister Mark Carney formally announced the plan on Wednesday while meeting with his British counterpart Andy Burnham.
In a statement, Carney called JEF an "important initiative" and highlighted other close defence ties with the U.K., including Canada's observer status in the development of the next generation of fighter jet.

Oh now you know expect the CA to have a TO&E for a Light Infantry entity AND a LAV based one. Geez. Your asking for a lot.
For years the only difference was someone had crossed out the LAV’s in the picture

I’m suspect of your Bde’s messaging.
I am generally one of the biggest cynics when it comes to CAF spending promises, but it appears this government is serious.
Now I think the only reasons for it being serious about the CAF are the fact that there will most likely be a war with Russia in the next 4 years, as well as the Administration down here is being downright adversarial.
As long as both those issues are outstanding I think the budget is only going up.

Welllll....
As I recall, the mandays budget per person was (I think) 37 days per year.
By the time the various HQs skimmed off their portion, it would arrive at the unit level as about 27 days, or less. We might see some of this 'skimming' going on in the current 'constraint climate'.
COs who knew how the system worked said 'screw it' and committed as much as was needed to get the job done, budget or no budget.
Others penny pinched and micromanaged to the penny because they fancied themselves highly experienced public sector funds managers (which they weren't).
Regardless, as was traditional, by March there was usually a panic to spend the budget before April 1st

DND's normal budget cycle relies on carrying forward underspending from the prior year to address non-baseline adjustments/requirements in the next year. So if the department didn't spend $100 in 25/26, that $100 will be pulled into 26/27 and used to cover new /emergent issues raised during the departmental planning process. (There are also some things that have never received baseline funding which are done year after years and funded by that source of funds).
In 25/26, though, the department (from what I understand) successfully overspent its allocation, leaving $0 to carry forward. (Yay 2%+) This means that a lot of activities traditionally funded by that carry forward, and other new items, had no source of funding.
