Again, all I'm saying is that after all the people we met, the investigation we did, the report we read, the legislation we read, this could have been done eight years ago, so what means should be used to do that?
I really took advantage of the fact that all the committee members here--and I read some of the earlier deliberations--are working towards helping the Canadian Forces and the members to be treated fairly. I'm saying now that this issue was raised by Chief Justice Lamer and that the Minister of National Defence agreed that we need to move on this, so it's whatever means he's been thinking of. I thought that now is probably actually the right time to deal with it, because Bill C-41 addresses this kind of issue.
How are you going to make the redress process, the grievance process--as the Minister of National Defence said to this committee--efficient, transparent, and fair, if right now there's unfairness in the CF and the Chief of the Defence Staff doesn't have the authority to give remedy to a soldier who has been wronged financially?
