We're suggesting in CPC-1 that clause 4 be amended by deleting lines 12 to 16 on page 4.
As you know, we heard from a couple of our witnesses that a code of service discipline already exists. There is concern that subsection 55(2) deals with reserves. It talks about all military members, but there is no exemption provided for reserves.
Also section 60 of the National Defence Act already stipulates that a reserve member is subject to the code of service discipline when they are undergoing training or are on any vessel, vehicle or aircraft at the base.
I believe it was recommended by both the Quebec bar association and retired Lieutenant-Colonel Perron that subsection 55(2) be deleted or be redrafted. I'm proposing that we delete it, since the code of service discipline will cover this anyway. I think it takes into consideration what we heard from witnesses.
