You're a minute over.
I want to interject at this point. Colonel Ethell, most of us--I don't want to speak for the entire committee--probably don't want the person, as the quote goes, to be a “lapdog to the minister”. I for one believe they should probably be along the lines of the Auditor General: reporting to the committee, etc., something like that.
That being said, I appreciate your point of view, sir. You served for decades for us and you believed in the chain of command. Having that corporate structure worked very well; it would be the only thing that works in war scenarios. I understand where you're coming from on that, sir.
Committees do take a long time. We understand. That is the nature of the beast.
Mr. Sweet, for five minutes.
