Mr. Speaker, I thank the hon. member for Davenport for his question.
There are a number of questions we might ask about this bill and the process that now applies within the Canadian Forces.
It is a very opaque process and the government has the opportunity to introduce a bill that would improve it, but it refuses to do so, and so we react. We do find it very sad.
Of course, we would have liked it to be amended because, as I mentioned in my remarks, I think it is a very unfair process.
Naturally, there must be different rules because these people are in the Canadian Forces, where all the rules are different. They must obey orders and commands. For everything to work smoothly, some small details have to be different.
I think members of the Canadian Forces deserve our utmost respect. As such, we must give them the right to be represented during legal proceedings and to have the same constitutional rights as other Canadians, in other words, the right to a fair trial.
