I understand that, Mr. Chair. I actually read that several times earlier today, that very passage. I just want to share with you my understanding of that. It's quite correct that CPIC entries are shared with CBSA. That's part of the purpose they're there for, for law enforcement.
The section 9 reference to the AWOL thing came from a submission from the director of defence counsel services, in which he was expressing a general concern that a relatively minor offence could have that effect. The part that I am quite uncertain about here is this reference to having been informed it resulted in being denied entry, and whether that flowed from a summary trial. It may very well have flowed from a conviction from court martial, in which case absolutely it would be on CPIC. I can't speak to what Justice LeSage was told or the reliability of it; all I can suggest is our view of the most effective way forward to address this concern.
