I'd say there were two separate reviews made both for the prosecution and the defence where they identified some issues. It might have also been at the time when the system was new and it was a lack of experience on both sides. Sometimes people will come into positions where they really didn't have the disciplinary experience. So we take a bit more time and the problem.... That is a lot more complicated than just trying to change a section of the act.
We have to understand that the charge is sometimes laid at the unit level. It could also be laid by the military police. In both instances, depending on where it goes, then it's going to go to the base where the soldier is actually posted and then it's going to go up.
So in some instances, and that's where I don't know if it's in the regulations or in the act, we will get a phone call on the 1-800 line from the member right away. So we do have a file on that member and it goes from there. In other instances we will basically just receive for the first time the fact that the guy had requested our services and now we're facing the court martial and we only have a few weeks to get ready to proceed.
It's somewhere in the system, more the regulations than the National Defence Act that there's a problem, and that should be fixed in the QR&Os.
