Well, having had the misfortune in my other life of being an ADC to a general officer, I wouldn't wish it on any Canadian officer.
It just struck me as enormously odd that anybody in Canada, political leaders especially, would be taking a very junior officer, who is in effect a manservant to a general officer, an officer who wasn't in the field--as best I can understand it--and using his opinion as advice. If it had been an American officer of the same rank saying that Canadians should be doing more, I imagine that some parts of Canadian society would be outraged that we'd be listening to an American captain say such things.
My only advice to the House, with respect, is that they call in as many Canadian captains of experience with mud on their boots and ask them what they think of the mission. We don't need to listen to very junior British officers.
