The deputy minister being referred to is actually me. It's just that there has been a name change. What used to be the assistant deputy minister of human resources military—quite a mouthful—is now chief of military personnel.
I'm pleased to report that at the same time the Auditor General was finalizing that report, we had, in the Canadian Forces, as some of you may have heard, the Chief of the Defence Staff, General Hillier, talk about Canadian Forces transformation. Part of that whole transformation process includes human resources systems transformation. In November 2005 the armed forces counsel and the Chief of the Defence Staff fully endorsed an improved full accountability and authority to be invested for the entire Canadian Forces personnel system in one individual responsible to the Chief of the Defence Staff. That individual is me.
