I have a final question, Madam Chair.

It's on the appointment process of the chief of the defence staff. He's Governor in Council, but he's also one of the highest security clearance members of the armed forces and the civil service. Who does that Governor in Council appointment report to? Wouldn't it be the Minister of National Defence? Is it to the Prime Minister directly?
