Mr. Drapeau, you and I of course have talked many times. You know that I have great respect for you. I want to get your specific suggestions, because I think they'd be helpful.
With regard to clause 4, proposed subsection 18.5(3) gives the Vice-Chief of the Defence Staff authority to issue instructions or guidelines in writing to the provost marshal in respect of a particular investigation. Why would the Vice-Chief of the Defence Staff want to issue instructions or guidelines in what's supposed to be an independent investigation?
Either gentleman could comment on that, Mr. Chair.
