We have had significant vacancies in non-commissioned officer ranks in particular. Based on the comments of my colleague, Senator Clonan, would the Chief of Staff accept that the lack of supervision because of vacancies not being filled is contributing in some way to the difficulties outlined by Senator Clonan, that is, that we simply do not have enough people on the ground to maintain discipline and good order?
