OTTAWA—The federal government is planning to offer full−time employment to all reservists in the Canadian Armed Forces until the end of the summer as it seeks to bolster the military’s ranks and help offset some of the economic damage from COVID-19.

Reservists across the country are being contacted to see if they are available and interested in the offer, which will see them receive regular pay and benefits while also putting them on standby to respond should the military be asked to help with the current pandemic.
