Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe cost of Canada’s six-month bombing mission against the Islamic State group in Iraq was estimated at more than $100 million, according to officials Tuesday.
The independent parliamentary budget office put the tally at Can$128.8 million (US$103.8 million) to Can$166.40 million (US$134.1 million).
The budget office’s report comes after Defense Minister Jason Kenney said the costs would top Can$122 million (US$96.7 million).
The costs of previous recent military missions, including Libya, spiraled far beyond initial estimates provided by the government.
