What the law does

The law removes the military's authority to investigate or try sexual offences under the Criminal Code that are alleged to have taken place in Canada. It alters appointment processes for military prosecutors, defence counsel, and the provost marshal, who is renamed the Provost Marshal General. The law also expands who can become a military judge, removes those judges from the summary hearing system, and lets people acting for victims request a liaison officer.

“The member cares about using the French word for member of Parliament. I want to know if he is also upset that another member complained when a minister answered a question in French.”
Official Hansard

Mr. Speaker, I appreciate the member’s comments toward the end of his speech about the use of the word député, which, as he knows, means “member of Parliament” in French. However, I am curious whether the member is equally as concerned about the time the member for Brantford—Brant South—Six Nations stood in the House in the middle of question period and, when he was responded to in French, challenged the minister for responding in French. The member said he wished he had answered the question in English. He must be equally as outraged about when that happened. Is that correct?
