Thank you, Chair.
Thank you to you both for your presentations.
I take it as a working proposition that a soldier is a Canadian first, with all the rights and entitlements of a Canadian. We should expect nothing less in terms of their rights before the law.
The government members seem to be hanging their hats a lot on the report of Mr. Justice Lamer. You have made observations that it is something of a dated report, and that quite possibly Mr. Justice Lamer, in looking at specific sections of this act, might offer a different opinion.
I want to direct my first question to Mr. Stannard. You said that the Lamer report contained no specific recommendations. Could you elaborate on that? Is that with respect to proposed subsection 18.5(3), which seems to be thrust of your comments?
