Evidence of meeting #43 for National Defence in the 40th Parliament, 2nd Session. (The original version is on Parliament’s site, as are the minutes.) The winning word was question.
A recording is available from Parliament.

Gen Walter Natynczyk
That's an issue that is near and dear to all of our hearts, but I'll ask Mr. Fonberg to respond.
10:20 a.m.
Deputy Minister, Department of National Defence
We did talk about that perhaps when you were out of the room for a second, and we said we have had discussions all the way through the Auditor General, the Department of Finance, and the public accounts committee.
The member asked if there was anything the committee could recommend or help us with, and certainly the idea of raising that limit would be of benefit to us, because it would take away from the time we spend--not necessarily hugely efficiently--trying to land on that small number and allow us to use it to manage the organization probably a little bit more efficiently.

The Chair Conservative Maxime Bernier
Thank you very much.
I will ask the members if we have unanimous consent to
adjourn proceedings, given that it is 10:24. Are there any objections? Is everybody in agreement? Thank you.
I would like to take the opportunity to thank the deputy minister, the assistant deputy minister and the members of the Canadian Forces for appearing before our committee to answer our questions today.
That concludes the 43rd hearing of our committee.
[The meeting is adjourned]
