Thank you, Chair.
I was actually comforted by the first response I got from Colonel Gibson as to the intention and the purpose here with respect to establishing an administrative mechanism to meet the need here. But I'm a little disturbed in your answer to Mr. McKay's question that yes, that's the primary intent here, but it could be used for other purposes. That comment gives some force to what Mr. McKay was saying in terms of the way this matter is drafted.
What other circumstances are you talking about, then, outside of an administrative one? It doesn't quite say administrative here. I took your comments in good faith, particularly since they're on the record here in the defence committee, that this was the intention and that it was involved with administrative proceedings. I'm not looking for any nefarious reasons here, but what else is contemplated? Aside from the notion that there ought to be some way that doesn't involve a lot of other procedures to allow for the release of someone who is in custody under lawful direction or who has conditions on their release under a lawful order of a tribunal or court, what other ones do you have in mind?
