The federal government has narrowed the list of candidates to succeed General Wayne Eyre as chief of the defence staff to two, with Lieutenant-General Jennie Carignan among the front-runners, three sources say.
One of the sources, a retired general, said Lt.-Gen. Carignan has to be considered first in line for the CDS job. She is a three-star general who has commanded troops in a NATO mission in Iraq, served as chief of staff of army operations and held senior roles at National Defence headquarters. Maj.-Gen. Boivin recently ended a three-year stint as commander of Canadian Special Operations Forces Command. Prior to that, he was commanding officer of Joint Task Force 2, an elite special-forces unit, from 2013 to 2016.
The retired officer added that the other candidates – both two-star generals – are unlikely to be chosen over a three-star general, such as Lt.-Gen. Carignan, because this would reflect negatively that someone could jump over a higher ranked officer for the top military posting.
