Gordon O'Connor's future

Gordon O'Connor could leave his post of Defence Minister in the near future when Prime Minister Stephen Harper is expected to shuffle his cabinet. Political opponents are clamouring for his removal however, I doubt it will be from the cabinet. Afghanistan has been very challenging however there has been a number of accomplishments namely the renewal of the military infrastructure. Opposition leader Stephan Dion could see his wish for a full removal only partially granted as a full removal of Minister O'Connor from the cabinet could be harmful for progress made in the development of Canada's ill-equipped military.
