Mr. Speaker, I would first like to thank my colleague for her speech. I would like her to talk about the reform of the grievance system.
The NDP proposed an amendment that stipulates that at least 60% of the members of the grievance board must not be former officers or members of the Canadian Forces. This amendment was adopted in March 2011 as part of Bill C-41, but it was not retained in Bill C-15.
Could my colleague tell us why it is so important to include this new amendment?
