Well, whether we agree or disagree on that aspect of your job, there's another aspect to being minister of defence, and that's making sure that the chief of the defence staff is a leader who upholds the highest standards and is beyond reproach. It's not a job that you automatically get promoted into. It's a job for which you're selected for your leadership capabilities. General Vance clearly stayed beyond what had been the normal number of years as your chief of the defence staff.
Did it not ever occur to you that, given the concerns about sexual misconduct in the military, a different chief of the defence staff might have been able to provide better leadership at that point than General Vance was able to do, given that you knew about allegations of sexual misconduct?
