Mr. Chair, subsection 142(2) of the act currently provides that:
If a non-commissioned member above the rank of private is sentenced to detention, that person is deemed, for the period of the detention, to be reduced to the rank of private.
That's the law as it currently stands. It applies equally to both regular force and reserve members.
The answer to the question, as I understand it to be, is that for the period the person is serving the sentence of detention, they are deemed to be reduced to the rank of private.
