Well, it mirrors the Criminal Code, so it sets out a list of statutorily mandated concerns that a CO would consider in imposing sentence. It leaves less to the individual whim of the individual CO. It provides guidance to the CO, much as it provides guidance to judges.
In particular, though, clause 62 recognizes the unique operational situation, the unique nature of the organization, in proposed paragraphs 203.1(1)(a) and (b):
(a) to promote the operational effectiveness of the Canadian Forces by contributing to the maintenance of discipline, efficiency and morale; and
(b) to contribute to respect for the law and the maintenance of a just, peaceful and safe society.
So it does well to merge both the civilian concerns about sentencing as well as the unique requirements of the Canadian Forces.
