Canadian Defence Chief Replacement Battle Reflects Different Visions For Future,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
OTTAWA - A behind-the-scenes battle over who'll succeed the nation's defence chief has spilled out in public and exposed the bitter, often conflicting visions of where the Canadian military is headed following a Afghan war.
Rumours happen to be rampant the Harper government is willing to visit away from ranks of Canadian Forces brass in order to recall a dependable,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], retired officer to fill these shoes of Gen. Walter Natynczyk, whose departure is expected within weeks.
The name that cropped up the most was that of former lieutenant-general Andrew Leslie,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], who headed the Canadian army until 2010 and penned a milestone report that recommended a radical overhaul of the military command structure.
Leslie, now a senior executive in the CGI Group, wouldn't comment Tuesday. All of the candidates under consideration at that time included serving officers, namely the current vice chief of defence staff, Vice-Admiral Bruce Donaldson; the country's top officer at NORAD, Lt.-Gen. Tom Lawson; and also the head of the Royal Canadian Navy, Vice-Admiral Paul Maddison.
An internal round of finger-pointing followed in the wake from the Leslie story on Monday, said sources at National Defence.
Leslie's supporters first viewed it as an attempt to undermine or scuttle his potential candidacy - not a far-fetched notion in tight-lipped Ottawa. Still others wanted to blame fans of Leslie, who're still in uniform,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], for promoting him too loudly.
Some in the military have lamented privately that by going outside,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the PMO is slighting existing officers and undermining morale one of the upper echelons of the Canadian Forces.
Bland said it would be unusual, but not unprecedented, to reach into the ranks of retired officers to fill the very best slot. It happened within the 1950s and much more recently in the 1990s when retired general John de Chastelain was recalled following the Somalia scandal from his stint as Canada's ambassador in Washington.
In both cases,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the federal government of the day were built with a specific agenda, not unlike Conservatives today, who're quietly desperate to take away the thorn that's National Defence after a number of political controversies and spending missteps,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], such as the ongoing fiasco surrounding the F-35 stealth fighter.
Leslie's report,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], a year ago, called for cutting a bloated headquarters establishment in Ottawa comprised of 20,000 uniformed members and civil servants who manage operations and administration. He recommended cuts and reallocating resources in measures that could have affected as much as 11,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],000 jobs.
The report also recommended cutting spending on myriad outside contractors and consultants.
Appearing before a Senate committee last fall after his retirement, Leslie acknowledged his ideas weren't well-liked by the present senior ranks at National Defence headquarters: "I think the only real individual who will follow all my recommendations is me."
Since the report, National Defence has implemented some changes, notably the restructuring and consolidation of three commands in June. The merger was targeted at slicing about 25 % of the "overhead" for each command, although it isn't clear how many staff jobs - military or civilian - is going to be cut.
The steps fell lacking what Leslie recommended.
Bland said the fact Harper's office is really active in the search is intriguing and suggests the prime minister wants to see meaningful change,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
It is a departure in the days when selecting a military chief would be a much less formal, almost secondary, affair, he added. "It's unusual the pm would become really involved with this sort of thing."
Bland recounted how one former top commander sat away from defence minister's office with other candidates within the 1990s and was told he got the task once the minister walked past, pointed to him and said: "You're the CDS."
