Mr. Chair, I hear the comments from both Mr. Bezan and Mr. Garrison.
It's important to ensure that charter rights aren't being infringed. On the other hand, the answer doesn't lie in how a particular service member feels about the penalty. I think the answer lies very correctly, as described in the very first line of the amendment, in the scope of regulations.
I'm wondering if officials could answer this. What's the extent to which a good regulatory definition of a penal offence is and what an administrative offence is...? How much of a safeguard is that, with respect to ensuring that charter rights aren't actually being violated, not on the perception of the person subject to them, but by a national standard that everybody can agree to?
