News Release

NR 07.100 - November 19, 2007
OTTAWA - The Honourable Peter Gordon MacKay, Minister of National
Defence and Minister of the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency is pleased
to announce that the 2006-2007 Annual Report of the Judge Advocate General
(JAG) on the administration of military justice in the Canadian Forces was
tabled November 15 in the House of Commons.
This annual report acknowledges
a number of developments in the military justice system. The report clearly
indicates that our military justice system is indeed providing the Canadian
Forces with the necessary tools to maintain and enforce discipline in accordance
with the rule of law.
The eighth annual report canvasses much of the work done
during the reporting period concerning military justice in the Canadian Forces
including an overview of:
service tribunal activity;
military justice surveys results;
military justice training activities;
legislative, regulatory and policy initiatives; and
the strategic initiatives undertaken.
The National Defence Act provides that the JAG is responsible for
the superintendence of the administration of military justice in the Canadian
Forces and requires the JAG to report annually to the Minister of National
Defence on this subject. This report covers the period 1 April 2006 to 31 March
2007.
The Director of Defence Counsel Services and the Director of Military Prosecutions
are required to report annually to the JAG. The reports of the Director
of Military Prosecutions and the Director of Defence Counsel Services are included
as annexes to the JAG Report.
NOTE TO EDITORS: More information on the JAG and the full text of
the 2006 – 2007 JAG Annual Report is available on the National Defence
