This is a great thing for the Canadian Forces. It shows forward thinking on the part of military planners and strategists. Canada’s military since the end of the Second World War has traditionally been small in comparison to other nations. However in recent years the Canadian  government has made substantial effort in procuring new and state of the art equipment. Improvements to weapons, vehicles and communications equipment has greatly improved Canada's overseas capabilities.
Basically the military and the government has taken an approach of more bang for their buck. In years gone by the the Military had been seen as a joke, but not anymore. This forward thinking plan for an Operating base in Kuwait increases Canada's capabilities, and deployment potential. I have no doubt that this is going to be a trend with the Canadian Military.  I expect to see more bases of this nature in other countries around the world.
It makes a lot of sense economically and politically to be able to react  quickly and efficiently to evolving situations. Canada's global interests around the world are increasing and with economic and environmental instability it seems like the smart way to go.
