I hope not.
I understand that the levels set by the public service are standard across the military and the public service. Certainly those who achieve them I think achieve them with full faith in the fact that they've met a standard that's been very rigorous. The hundreds of hours that anglophones have put in on French training at the Royal Military College and that francophones put in on English training go into achieving those levels.
In terms of anecdotes that suggest that once having achieved those levels, those levels are somehow tainted by a lack of quality...I haven't heard about this and am not sure where to go with that. I know that standardization for colonels and generals is at a higher level, a university level, CBC, I think we call it in the public service. That comes with a level of quality that, until now, I thought was unquestioned.
