Mr. Chair, with regard to Mr. Spengemann's remarks, it's not the member's perception of the penalty; it's the perception of the process that preserves morale within the Canadian Forces. To be treated fairly and to be perceived to be treated fairly are what is at question, I think, in this amendment. The reason the possible penalty comes up is that fairness becomes, I think, exponentially more important as the penalties increase. If we're going to maintain good morale, then this amendment, which allows people to choose a process that they feel is more complete and more fair, if they feel they are at great risk, is one we should put into the bill.
