Thank you very much, Mr. Minister.
The concern you raise is precisely why I'm suggesting removing paragraph 98(c), which deals with self-harm, and not tampering with the other two sections, which deal with the things I think you're referring to: in the heat of combat, someone not doing their duty, malingering or exaggerating illness would place others at risk. I acknowledge that.
I believe if you consult the experts on this, the military commanders would still have full powers to sanction those deliberately avoiding service. It simply removes that reference to self-harm as being a disciplinary offence automatically.
