While this is pretty hard to believe, until everything is settled, General Vance is in my opinion an excellent and capable choice, having held the position before Ménard.

Canada's top commander in Afghanistan, Brig.-Gen. Daniel Ménard, has been relieved of his duties following allegations that he was involved in an inappropriate personal relationship.
Col. Simon Hetherington said an investigation into the allegations has been launched but did not comment on the specifics.
Brig.-Gen. John Vance will assume command in the meantime.
Hetherington said Lt.-Gen. Marc Lessard made the decision to relieve Ménard of his duties after he lost confidence in Ménard's ability to command.
More to come
