I have read the report and talked to Andy Leslie. I have known him for a long time. He was given a mission by the minister to think outside the box, as people like to say these days, and he did that. He came up with a number of models for reorganizing the defence establishment, and that's where these cuts that could be made here and there and everywhere come from. He had a large team of military and civilian personnel. The civil servants were withdrawn from his team halfway through the project. But it was a good team.
