By providing a platform for informed discussions, Conversations on Defence and Security can help policymakers make more well-informed decisions and enable the public to better understand these critical issues. It likely serves as a resource for scholars, policymakers, military personnel, and anyone interested in defense and security matters, both in Canada and globally.
