Mr. Speaker, I appreciate the member speaking in the House today to this very important bill.
The bill has a very long history. It was previously Bill C-7, Bill C-45, Bill C-60, and Bill C-41.
The original report goes back to 2003, so it is certainly high time we dealt with this bill in the House.
What concerns us is that some of the key issues and amendments the NDP put forward, in good faith, at committee have been left out of the bill. We still do not have an answer on that. I wonder if the member would like to address that concern, because they really should have been included in this new version of the bill.
I think the members of the Canadian armed forces need to have a better military justice system. We are here in the House to ensure that it happens.
