COVID-19 and military justice (Canada)

On April 7, 2020, Chief Justice B. Richard Bell of the Court Martial Appeal Court of Canada issued a notice to the profession in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic. It provides in part:
The Court is strongly encouraging the electronic filing of court documents via email. The Court is extending until May 15, 2020, the period of time during which parties are urged to file court documents in PDF format by sending those documents to cmac-information-cacm@cassatj.gc.ca. Court documents can also be filed by fax at (613) 952-7226.
Those unable to file electronically or by fax may file paper copies by placing their documents at locations designated for document drop-off at all registry counters. Registry staff will no longer be available to accept in-person filing of paper documents but remain available to assist parties and the public via email or telephone. For contact information for registry counters across the country, please see https://www.cas-satj.gc.ca/en/operations/locations.shtml. 
The Court continues to be available to deal with urgent matters in writing or by teleconference.
