Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I think both the vice-chief and the provost marshal covered that pretty thoroughly. The effect of this would be to remove the vice-chief from that area where he balances the independence of the provost marshal and yet is still able to operate within the chain of command. Both the vice-chief and the Canadian Forces provost marshal addressed pretty clearly that it does not jeopardize the things you're concerned with, so we can't support that amendment.
