I just wonder if it would be a good idea to allow a list of approved combat uniforms/camouflages that the individual soldier could buy, while also have a supplied uniform for garrison on a Canada side base and other events that MUST have the soldiers looking exactly the same not just similar enough to ID as Canadian (and hopefully a friendly), or if a soldier can't/won't buy they own uniform. It could keep costs for new uniforms down at bit, and allow soldiers to buy possibly better working uniforms. I DON'T KNOW about all this stuff, don't flame me, I'm just stating my ideas, and opinions.

Digital is desinged more to blend at around 300+ meters IRIC, NOT closer althought it works just fine.
The reason we wear what we're allowed and told to wear is also in regards to IDing us as a canadian soldier by being able to say, "Hey, he IS a canadian, they're all the same" as, in theory and law, when captured by another standing, reconised nations military, I/we are entitled to certain things under various conventions, we are entitled to these as "Uniformed Combatants". If I remember rightly, we fail to be "uniformed combatants" if we wear whatever the hell we like and we lose alot of the stuff in the even of capture.
When I speak of capture, I'm talking about being a POW, captured by an actual army, such as the U.S. Military, British Military, NOT groups like the taliban. If captured by them, you're a hostage.
