MacKay stays as MND
Good. Bringing a new minister up to speed at this point would have been pointless, since MacKay has been doing a decent job of it: conscientious, motivated, caring about the CF, and able to make political arguments for DND on a political level. That is to say, I can't think of any Conservative MP better suited to the job...
