By David Adelaide ; 22 May 2004 Under Paul Martin, Canada’s Liberal government 
has given increased importance and prominence to the Canadian Armed Forces 
(CAF). In answer to demands from Canadian big business and Washington that 
Canada increase its contribution to “global security,” Ottawa has announced new

mission in Afghanistan, and all but dotted the i’s and crossed the t’s on 
Canadian participation in the Bush administration’s missile defence program.
