Libya mission has cost Canada $26M: MacKay Canada's military mission in Libya has cost $26 million and could more than double if it's extended until the fall, Defence Minister Peter MacKay said Wednesday during a NATO summit in Brussels.
The cost covers fuel for Canada's fighter planes and patrol aircraft taking part in the NATO operation.
It also includes the more than 300 laser-guided bombs Canadian pilots have dropped on targets in Libya.
MacKay says Parliament will be asked to vote June 15 on whether to extend the mission until the end of September.
He says that would push the total cost of the deployment to roughly $60 million.
Harper Tories are cutting back on Coast Guard rescue spending on the East Coast but find millions to spend on destroying Libya's infrastructure to enhance Israel's security apparently just to insure that Jews and their media keep up their support in the next election. Same kind of sicko policy as in the US.
