I did not hear the statement in its full context, but I will say that it is consistent with the point I made previously, which is that McKinsey provided no substantive policy advice to the Government of Canada. That rests with the ministry at issue. Here, in terms of national defence, the policy decisions and the direction that we are taking—whether it be on culture change or with respect to the Royal Canadian Navy—rests with me, as minister, and the other leaders of the organizations with which I work: the Canadian Armed Forces, as well as the Department of National Defence.
