This bill raised no problems for me until I read it. Reading it simply made me jump. As I told you, perhaps something is escaping me or I don't understand the logic underlying this point. Perhaps, but I don't understand it. Without clause 28, Bill C-60 would not be a problem for me and would have my full approval.
What problems can that hypothetically cause in the four or five potential cases, if there are four or five? Would that deal a death blow to military justice? I don't think so. I'd be surprised if it would mean that an accused would not face the rigour of military justice in those circumstances. I would be even more surprised after reading the Trépanier decision, which anticipates this problem.
