Thank you.
First, I would like to specify that I will not comment on the current situation. However, I think it's important to indicate that the publicly available defence administrative order and directive DAOD 7002-0, dealing with boards of inquiry, provides, in paragraph 2.7, that:
2.7 A [board of inquiry]...must not be conducted if any purpose of the [board of inquiry]...is to:
a. obtain evidence relating to a potential breach of the Code of Service Discipline; or
b. assign criminal responsibility.
The reason for this is that any allegation must be handled carefully and in a manner that preserves the ability to conduct a fair and independent disciplinary or criminal investigation, and, if charges are laid, to have those charges prosecuted and tried fairly and in a manner that respects the rights of both the accused and the victim.
Thank you, Madam Chair.
