If I may add one point, Mr. Chair, I think it's important for the members of the committee to understand that the Court Martial Appeal Court did not say anything was wrong with the types of courts themselves. If the person is there and they're happy to be tried by, for example, a disciplinary court martial, there's nothing wrong with a disciplinary court martial in the view of the Court Martial Appeal Court, and that's what this transitional provision is capturing. If the accused is there and he's content to be there, there's nothing wrong with that type of court, even though it would be abolished ultimately by Bill C-60. That particular court should be allowed to proceed to its conclusion.
