“The member should listen to what the committee said and look at what has happened since Justice Arbour made her recommendation. She spoke to many more military members than he did, and I trust her advice more than his.”
“Mr. Speaker, I suggest not only that the member has an obligation to listen to what was said at the standing committee, as the standing committee dealt with the legislation, but that there is also an obligation to look at what has been taking place over the last few years, based on a recommendation by Justice Arbour with regard to this very issue. I can assure the member that she, as a justice, had access to and referenced far more members of the Canadian Forces than the member did. Quite frankly, I have more confidence in her recommendation than I do in his suggestion.”
