To be very candid, I find that argument a little disingenuous, particularly when it comes from provincial police forces that can expect no more than a handful of cases every year, if that. If they don't have an army, air force or navy base in their jurisdiction, they're not likely to get a lot of cases.
Interestingly, again, because there's concurrent jurisdiction, you may be surprised to find out—although it's in my report—that the military system doesn't prosecute driving offences. They let those be prosecuted in civilian courts. If it's a matter of resources, why don't they just switch? The military can say, “We're going to take all of these driving offences of impaired driving under the influence and all kinds of related offences committed by CAF members on the roads of the provinces. We'll take those off your hands and free up some resources, and you'll take the 30 or so sexual assault cases that are likely to come your way across the country in one year.”
If it is really a question of resources, and if provinces need more money from.... They have jurisdiction of the administration of criminal justice. That's the Constitution. You have to pay for responsibility.
