Mr. Chair, this boils down to saying that we want to do away with reserve force judges. Let me explain our reasons a little.
We see that there are four full-time judges for the 65 cases before courts martial at the moment. That is not a lot of cases per judge. It is all very well for people to try to explain that it is to give a little more flexibility, but we see it as needlessly creating extra positions, especially given that these are reserve force judges.
So the Bloc Québécois would like to dispense with this addition of part-time, reserve force judges. We feel that four full-time judges are sufficient to be able to handle 65 court martial cases.
