No.

The current government has decided to replace 12 x C-130H's with 2 x C-130J's.

The Caribou will be replaced with 10 x LTFW aircraft (type not decided yet - C-27J?)

Was in the White Paper I believe. Here is an old press release from some car auto-electrician when the initial decision was made:

Airlift Capability downgrade.. sorry, "New capability"
