A Seat at the Table: Canada's General in NATO's Top Job The leadership of NATO's Military Committee will play a crucial role in shaping the alliance's response to emerging security challenges.
On Saturday, top military commanders from 32 nations will gather to choose their new chair – a position that has been coveted by Canada's General Jennie Carignan for months.
Carignan's candidacy represents a significant shift in the balance of power within NATO. If elected, she would be the first woman to lead the committee and only the second Canadian since 2005.
