Chiefs Of Staff (Canada)
The Chiefs of Staff Committee was a collection of the heads of each military service in Canada prior to the beginning of Unification: the Royal Canadian Navy, the Canadian Army and the Royal Canadian Air Force. The Chiefs of Staff Committee consisted of the Chief of the Naval Staff, the Chief of the General Staff, the Chief of the Air Staff and a Chairman who held a rank one level higher than the service heads. While Unification did not officially take place until 1968, the committee was replaced by the Armed Forces Council in 1964 after the publication of a Defence White Paper which proposed significant changes to the command structure of Canada's armed forces. The position of Chairman was replaced by the position of Chief of the Defence Staff with greatly expanded powers and functions.

Famous quotes containing the words chiefs and/or staff:
““Hear me,” he said to the white commander. “I am tired. My heart is sick and sad. Our chiefs are dead; the little children are freezing. My people have no blankets, no food. From where the sun stands, I will fight no more forever.””

“... all my letters are read. I like that. I usually put something in there that I would like the staff to see. If some of the staff are lazy and choose not to read the mail, I usually write on the envelope “Legal Mail.” This way it will surely be read. It’s important that we educate everybody as we go along.”
—Jean Gump, U.S. pacifist. As quoted in The Great Divide, book 2, section 10, by Studs Terkel (1988)
