Thank you for the question. It really is an excellent one and quite a logical one to ask within this discussion.
As with most aspects, there are policy holders within the CF and DND. In this case there are two main policy holders. One is military justice, which I oversee because I'm also the superintendent. So my office, with talented folks like Colonel Gibson and Colonel Gleeson, helps to formulate policy that is reviewed not only internally, but we try to reach out to people outside the community--civilian lawyers, the Canadian Bar Association--to get views on those changes. With things like MPCC and grievance, the Vice Chief of Defence Staff is a policy holder and goes through a similar process. Those recommendations are put forward. Ultimately, as you see, it's the minister who makes the decision on whether those are acceptable. He then goes forward, as he's done here today, to present them in the bill.
