Mr. Speaker, the minister knows full well that I am afraid of nothing, but the minister should be very afraid of his mismanagement of this entire affair.
I will read from the National Defence Act. It sets out a three-year limitation period for everything except mutiny, desertion, absence without leave, and death penalty offences. That is it.
Canadians know there is a separate code of law which applies to our military to enforce discipline and leadership which expires in March 1996. Canadians want to know why the minister has so mismanaged the affair that now discipline and leadership cannot be enforced in our Canadian Armed Forces.
