Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman.
Mr. Drapeau and Mrs. Guzina, thank you for being here today.
Mr. Drapeau, your record is impressive and your knowledge of military law extensive. I listened to your comments on the bill. As legislators, we are always interested in hearing the opinions of an expert such as you. I heard you say that the bill entrenched certain aspects that referred to the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms and that you didn't see any problem as such with the bill. It's always comforting to hear things like that. We say to ourselves that someone who knows this has prepared a comprehensive document, with a good summary.
If I understand correctly, the Trépanier decision is one of the factors that led to the bill's preparation. An accused could not have full answer and defence in view of the fact that he could not choose how he would be judged.
Would you like to add any comments on the Trépanier decision relative to the bill? In your opinion, how would this situation play out under the new act?
