It has a lot to do with the flexibility of having this two-tier system that currently exists, with the tribunal structure, which allows for summary trials where most of the disciplinary-type matters that I talked about earlier are applied, and the more formal court martial system.
It's not to say that both can't impact on a person's career aspirations and career path, but the summary trial is by far the more common system that's applied. It's used in the vast majority of service tribunals, and it's used in playing this vital role of maintaining discipline and the operational effectiveness of the Canadian Forces.
I spoke earlier about how Chief Justices Brian Dickson and Antonio Lamer looked at the system and determined, and both commented that these recommendations for refinement are important for that whole range of issues--as far as credibility, as far as continuing the culture and the balance--and I think you can certainly take their assessment of the system and the two-tier system as quite substantial.
Thank you, Mr. Chair.
