At a theoretical level I think they're correct, but in a practical sense, as long as you have a variety of policy objectives both internal and external to the department, it's very difficult to have one focal point. If you want somebody within the Canadian Armed Forces to be responsible for a particular acquisition, that's great, but he or she can't be responsible for the regional components, for the technological components or for the innovation components.
I think it's desirable and that we need to improve what we're doing, but to all of a sudden say we have this one person responsible for everything in the current small-p political environment—by which I don't mean “partisan”, I just mean “political”—I don't think it's going to work.
