Yes, well, we all complement each other.
One of the managerial techniques we utilized was management by results. This has to do with measuring.
As Vice Chief of the Defence Staff, how do you ensure that the Canadian Forces are able to fulfill the six core missions as outlined in the Canada First defence strategy?
There are three parts to the question. The second part is how you decide how to allocate resources. Presumably you allocate them where levels are lower. But how do you measure readiness, and what's the measuring capacity? What metrics do you use to determine the readiness?
Finally—and I think this is probably what we are most interested in or focused on—you have to compare. Part of measuring is comparing. So what is the current state of readiness in the Canadian Forces compared to what it was a year ago? And then could you compare that to what it was 10 years ago, so this committee can have a good idea as to our readiness measurement ability?
