I have a question for Mr. Hamel.
One of the propositions advanced during the debate on Bill C-15 at second reading was to impose a quota on the composition of the Grievance Board, specifying that 60% of the members must not have had previous military service.
The Grievance Board is an administrative tribunal, and you know that I have participated in different administrative tribunals. The role of the administrative tribunal is to apply expertise to a particular body of facts or mixed facts of law. Given this, do you think it is a logical proposition to have a quota that would exclude persons who have relevant experience from being selected as members of the board?
Specifically, I'm asking you why are you for the exclusion of a member who is a serving member in the forces? I think I understand from your proposal that you are against having a serving member on the board.
