More Good News

"The Department of Defence and the Canadian Forces are top heavy with too many civilian bosses in Ottawa and need to shift resources to the front lines, according to a secret defence report."
[---]
"The transformation report, authored by Gen. Andrew Leslie, was submitted in early July but has yet to be released publicly. QMI Agency obtained a copy from a military source.

"By almost any standard and like almost all of our friends and allies, we have too many headquarters, too much cumbersome process, too much overhead, too much tail," Leslie writes in the 80-page report, which has ruffled feathers in the department and forces alike.

Leslie proposes substantially paring down the senior executive levels of both DND and the Canadian Forces, and reinvesting those funds in the front lines to protect "the various systems that result in the people in the ships, battalions and squadrons of aircraft doing the tough and often dangerous work that Canadians are so proud of," he writes. "In short, we are going to have to reduce the tail of today while investing in the teeth of tomorrow.""
Good! Sounds to me like we're gonna dismantle the Liberal Party era and start again from scratch. Can a similar overhaul for the CBC be far behind?
