I think so. The system we have, as with so many things we have in Canada, we have acquired through inheritance from the United Kingdom, and our history has diverged from theirs in the years since. I think most people in the system would have a vague sense about fighting efficiency, the kinds of things I talked about. In terms of actually giving statutory clarity to the principles according to which people are charged and convicted of military offences, I think it is actually quite helpful. It actually crystallizes it. Frankly, it gives courts, which might ultimately review this, a firmer yardstick against which to measure the propriety of what the military system has done.
