With all the debate of whether or not Canada's Special Forces (CSF) are in Combat in Northern Iraq, David Pugliese, of the Ottawa Citizen asks the Question: Are CSF receiving Risk Allowance pay that is usually attributed to being deployed to Combat zones.
The answer he receives from DND is what you would expect it to be - a non-answer answer that defined what risk allowance pay is and how it is divided in several different categories, but does not actually say where on the scale of $170 - $1017/month in hardship pay they are receiving or whether or not they are receiving the $678/month for "High Risk Zones"
