Military budget squeeze limits paid Remembrance Day participation in Ontario

[Halifax Tar]

A lot of money was spent just in pay raises. As much as everyone loves a good raise, it takes a ton away from the budget and really doesn’t do much for what you can do.

Whether I am paid 50k or 70k or 100k the work I am doing is the same.

That must be it...

Makes a difference to me. I'm not doing my job for $50-70K...

Just about 50% of the budget is spent on troops. Not saying it isn’t good money spent or not, just that it gobbles up a lot of the budget very quickly, and generally is the only ‘easy’ thing to cut (in the case of reducing Class A days).

Large pay raises eat into the budget quickly and doesn’t return any actual function (unlike say a capital expenditure on a ship, plane, tank, etc.).
