"Army investigating members allegedly involved in 'abhorrent' Facebook group"

Why am I not surprised, my opinion of DOJ and the people who handle regulation change is unchanged. Likely some idiot said "Lets wait on the RIAS, to see what other changes can be made as well". Which then causes everything to come to a grinding halt. Doing the RIAS for the change from Queen to King, would be a perfect and safe introduction to the process of regulation change for a new staffer.

I always thought that you could change QR&O to KR&O (or CFR&Os by one piece of paper that said that and adding a provision that says "reference to QR&O in any legislation, regulation or other instrument shall be deemed to be a refence to these KR&Os (or CFR&Os" or words to that effect. Bob's your uncle and start your consequential amendments. I presume there is a committee somewhere that meets on a weekly basis and argues about what to call them and how to do it.

My understanding is that it is a regulation change and very minor one. Other departments conduct minor regulatory change all the time, hence the existence of the Gazette (Mostly for law nerds). Big or small the steps generally stay the same, but the effort required changes greatly.
I think I prepared about 10x RIAS in my career. Certainly not hard for small stuff. Of course it means that some Ottawa types have to take time away from their "Centre of effort activities" like career advancement and United Way campaigns, to do what they are apparently are supposed to do.

There was such a committee that had everything written and noted off for signature, but the admin who assembled it all signed the package with their rank of ‘Master Sailor’, so it was voided.

It's a ministerial order. Therefore requires MND to change it.

But there is a need to review non NDA leg and regs that refer, to ensure that any amendment can have legal force on those instances.

That of course assumes a certain level of legal competency...
