I'm going to speak as a historian. We deal with the past. I'm not very good at the present, so you might want to ask my students in 20 years when all the documents are available.
One of the methodologies of historians is to deal with the complete record. Unfortunately, what we often have right now are incomplete accounts of what's happening. Let me just go back to the one time when there really was effective change in the Canadian forces with external oversight. That was after the Somalia affair.
The minister took direct involvement in making change, and he got a lot of resistance from the senior leaders of the armed forces. He brought in a minister's monitoring committee, some of whom had been members of the Somalia commission, and they advised him directly and he directed change. From a historical example, whether it's the minister or some other external body—and maybe that's why it should be entirely external from DND—someone with an interest in making change, historically, has been the kind of person who's made the change.
