On the basis of our new force and command structure, all operations come under the authority of the Canadian Operational Support Command or the command structure at the expeditionary level.
Special forces report to those two commands, except in very rare cases where the commander reports directly to the Chief of the Defence Staff. In fact, it is in those rare cases that I will deal directly with him to provide support.
As a general rule, everything involved in it is top secret, and only some people are aware of the type of support being provided.
