Mr. Chairman, as summary trials prove fair and effective and prompt justice with respect to minor offences, the objective is to deal with those offences expeditiously and fairly within the unit and return the member to service as soon as possible, so that a unit's discipline is quickly restored and the soldier can carry on with his mission. As it is a less formal tribunal, the possible punishments are limited and are designed to maintain military discipline and efficiency, both in Canada and when they're deployed abroad.
With this in mind, don't you agree that summary trials keep the best interests of the member in mind while maintaining discipline, efficiency, and morale?
