If you were just as surprised two weeks ago, then you couldn't have known about these allegations.
I also have serious questions about the parallel with Admiral Norman. There were allegations against him and he was promptly removed. You and others in the government commented at length on his situation when he was removed on the basis of allegations. However, similar—and I would argue even more serious—allegations against the chief of the defence staff warrant completely different treatment. I'm having trouble understanding why that's the case.
