Thank you very much, Madam Chair.
I want to go back to Mr. Wernick and his discussion of tenure of the chief of the defence staff. My understanding is that the appointment for the chief of the defence staff is open-ended, in the sense that it doesn't have a specific term.
You made reference to discussions with the minister about what that term should be, and it appears that General Vance served longer than most chiefs of the defence staff. Can you comment on this concept of what an appropriate term would be and what is done about extending or shortening the term of the chief of the defence staff?
