Certainly as was discussed, by its very nature, a non-penal, non-criminal administrative tribunal would have a different standard of proof than would a criminal tribunal such as a summary trial or a court martial. The Supreme Court is clear that there are two standards of proof in terms of tribunals: the criminal standard, beyond a reasonable doubt, and the civil standard, on the balance of probabilities.
As was stated generally, the hallmark of this bill is to create a non-penal, non-criminal disciplinary tribunal.
I'll make a couple of points for clarity, in terms of the discussion on the confinement to barracks. I did read Lieutenant-Colonel (Retired) Perron's submission as well as the Barreau du Québec submission. I believe I stated when I was here previously that the minor sanctions are not put forth in the bill. Those minor sanctions will be put forth in regulations. If you are suggesting that confinement to barracks will be a feature of the new system, that is to be determined in regulations. Certainly, from a regulatory development perspective, the office of the JAG and the department clearly welcome all of these submissions in terms of different ideas and of moving forward with the regulatory package, and we'll certainly take those into consideration.
