I would like to mention one last thing, Mr. Chair.
I have here in the department's summary and explanations:Given, however, that these judges would have security of tenure until their retirement, it would not be desirable for the Canadian Forces to have too many full-time military judges in relation to the number of cases that are usually heard by court martials.
So, in other words, instead of resolving the problem with full-time judges, we want to resolve it by bringing in part-time judges that we can get rid of more easily. That is the department's argument. That is why I maintain that, if we want to resolve the problem and if we do not have enough judges, make them part-time and then use those part-time judges, telling them that we no longer have any responsibilities toward them.
