The issue that we raised here was of course around the fact that the department didn't comply with the Treasury Board policy on financial management. As I've said kind of bluntly, it was to perhaps re-establish responsibility on the civilian side. A lot of the responsibility had moved to the military side of the place. Now with the CFO and the deputy minister with a clear accounting officer responsibility, we'll have to see how this all plays out over time. Does naming people actually change anything in the department? But I think we would see a bit of a rebalancing more toward the civilian side.
