When we are looking at the analysis of the bill and the legal policy considerations that need to come into play, we consult with all of the military justice system actors in order to ensure that the changes that are being proposed will also meet their requirements.
We consult with our colleagues from the Department of Justice, because one of the aims that we're trying to achieve with the military justice system is to ensure that it keeps pace with Canadian law, and that it keeps pace with Canadian values. That cannot be done in isolation. That needs to be done in consultation with all of the legal actors in Canada. Those would have been the consultations that would have occurred.
The other very important piece is consultation with the chain of command itself—actors who use the military justice system on a daily basis—to ensure that the military justice system continues to meet the needs of the Canadian Armed Forces every single day.
