You mentioned how the national security adviser of the day in 2015 was very involved in the vetting process, including being the lead on the ad hoc committee for appointing the chief of defence staff.
Can you just relay to the committee and to Canadians why it's important to have the national security adviser vetting the chief of the defence staff, when you look at the security clearances that are required, the physical evidence of misconduct that would have to be looked at, whether it be going through everything from correspondence to pictures to financial transactions, and how those materials come into play in the appointment of the chief of the defence staff?
