A clear and urgent legislative challenge: reforming the Canadian Military Justice system

January 15, 2018. In the wake of the publication of the Interim Report on the Court Martial System, an essay titled "Time for Parliament to legislate control over Canada's military criminal justice system" was published in the Parliamentary Precinct Weekly, Hill Times.

The authors, Joshua Juneau and Michel W. Drapeau remind readers that it is the legislature turn to study and undertake a systemic review of the military justice system, to provide sweeping recommended structural improvements, modernization and reforms to the National Defence Act as well as to provide sufficient civilian oversight to regulate and control the military establishment.
