We are very much aware of the differences in sentencing regimes between what currently exists under the civilian Criminal Code and the code of service discipline in part III of the National Defence Act.

In fact, Bill C-15 tries to accomplish that by proposing to introduce a number of new sentencing options, such as intermittent sentences and absolute discharges.
