Mr. Speaker, the military justice system was brought under a cloud because of the Somalia inquiry.
Last night CBC reported another example of the apparent failure of the military justice system under this Minister of National Defence.
Commander Dean Marsaw was court martialled and found guilty of verbal and physical misconduct. However, transcripts and videos of the investigations show the witnesses being badgered, called liars and being accused of not co-operating. Before Marsaw can be dismissed from the forces the minister must confirm the dismissal.
Will the minister show some support for the morale in the forces and immediately suspend the dismissal of Commander Marsaw?
