“We introduced this bill to update the military justice system. A former judge said these big changes would take a few years, and that is where we are now. I hope we can make progress on it today.”
“Mr. Speaker, it is a question of opportunity. We introduced the bill and reintroduced it in the House of Commons. It went through the normal process, and it was Justice Arbour herself who predicted that it would take a few years to bring about fundamental changes. That is exactly where we are now. The hon. member knows this; he is aware of the situation, and we hope to make progress today.”
