Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of National Defence and concerns the military justice system.
I operated under and with the military justice system for more than 36 years. I always considered that it was as or more fair than the civilian justice system.
However, events in Somalia and a rising number of grievances being submitted to the chief of defence staff indicate that there is some reluctance among the rank and file to trust the military justice system. The minister's predecessor indicated that there would be a study of the military justice system.
Would the minister consider in light of the red book promise submitting a review of the justice system to the Standing Committee on National Defence and Veterans Affairs for its consideration and report?
