Mr. Speaker, I thank the hon. member for the question.
Absolutely, there should be the same procedure in place within the military which I know exists within the RCMP and police forces. Even the lowest recruit has a right to issue a complaint. In doing so they know full well that the complaint will reach its proper source and they will not be penalized for putting their reasoning forward. We found out in the Somalia inquiry that when they got to the touchy political part that is when the problem started.
The member is right and it is a good question. We should get the politics out of this and let the military run it and reach solutions without the politicians getting into it.
