May I briefly respond, Mr. Chair?
I think the rubber hits the road here very practically. What this provision would do is it would not punish honest people.
Right now, if you get out of the forces and you're filling out that employment questionnaire, and you're asked, “Have you ever been convicted of an offence under an act of Parliament for which you haven't received a record suspension?”, the odds are that if it's tried by summary trial, there won't be and shouldn't be a record on CPIC. But if you were honest, what you would actually have to do is get a document from the forces to prove to the national Parole Board that you had been convicted so they could give you a pardon, which is almost an absurdity.
