Thank you very much.
I have two questions to ask, and my colleague Mr. Comartin has questions as well. I hope we can fit that into our seven minutes.
General Watkin, in the Trépanier decision the Court Martial Appeal Court said that they didn't see the need for a legislative remedy. I'll quote paragraph 117:
...there is also an available interim practical solution which can easily be implemented for all charges. Under section 130 of the NDA, the accused can be offered an election as to his or her trier of facts. There will be no legal impediment to that course of conduct since section 165.14 which gives the right to the prosecution is [of] no force and effect with respect to these offences.
In an earlier technical briefing, my staff was told that this part of the judgment was contradictory and that there was no way to convene the court martial at this time without amending the National Defence Act. Could you could respond to that part of the judgment--the part that I read out--and to why the interim solution that was proposed by the court is deemed to be unsatisfactory?
