I think it will evolve in the right direction. I think we've been given a slap on the wrist. By “we”, I mean those who practise military law. They've been slapped on the wrist by the court and its resounding decision urging us to make this change. That's good. I think it's also very good, at last, to apply some of Mr. Justice Lamer's other suspended recommendations. Reducing the number of courts martial from four to two is a very good thing. The various jurisdictions, the various powers are all Greek to most military members. I think this makes a contribution to the military justice system in the twenty-first century. I think it's very good.
