Ottawa had earlier pledge to provide military support to the African nation back in 2016 but the move was delayed pending a review on participating in U.N. peace-keeping missions in November.
The government is now expected to announce the decision on Mar. 19. The personnel and aircraft will be in Mali for up to 12 months.
