That is happening all the time and it needs to happen. I would like to be able to give the Chief of Staff and his team as much flexibility as possible to be able to move skills around within the Defence Forces. We will see new management structures in the Army in particular, but also in other parts of the Defence Forces. That is part of what the commission looked at. A very active conversation is happening between the general staff and senior management in the Department of Defence to try to ensure that the Chief of Staff and his team have the equipment and resources they need and obviously that we have the policy direction in place as well.
