“Justice Arbour talked to hundreds of victims and recommended moving military cases to regular civilian courts. A House committee also agreed with this, and the member voted for it. I want to know if the member thinks Justice Arbour is wrong.”
“Mr. Speaker, Justice Arbour came up with a recommendation to transfer cases to the civilian process. A previous standing committee of the House put forward a report, which the member indicated that she voted for, that said to do exactly what this legislation purports to do Justice Arbour would have met with literally hundreds of victims. Combined, we are probably talking about well over 1,000 people, directly and indirectly. I believe she did her homework. Based on the expertise she brought to the table and the people she consulted with, she came up with that recommendation. Does the member believe Justice Arbour is wrong in her recommendation?”
