In the Cawthorne case in 2016, the minister is quite properly placed within a prosecution system. In the Cawthorne case, he was properly placed as the person I had to go to in order for us to go ahead with appeals to the Court Martial Appeal Court of Canada or the Supreme Court of Canada.
If the minister is acting without partisan political purposes, then the minister is quite properly placed within a military justice system. If he or she acts with political or partisan purposes, then that is totally inappropriate.
