Thank you, Minister.
Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I just want to highlight that, as the CPCC was stood up at the end of April 2021, basically the team consisted of 11 people, and there was an urgency to act. I would qualify the work that we needed to do as open heart surgery on a running patient. There was no question that the patient needed to keep running, because we just can't put defence on pause while we are embarking on unprecedented change in terms of the organizational culture within defence.
This is the state we were in as of June 2021. As the minister mentioned, we needed to seek external help to figure this out.
