RECOMMENDATION |
|
|
|
Her Excellency the Governor General recommends to the House of
Commons the appropriation of public revenue under the circumstances,
in the manner and for the purposes set out in a measure entitled ``An Act
to amend the National Defence Act (remuneration of military judges)''.
|
|
|
|
SUMMARY |
|
|
|
This enactment amends the National Defence Act to allow for the
regulations made by the Treasury Board prescribing the rates and
conditions of military judges' pay to have retroactive effect. It also
clarifies that DNA warrants are issued only under section 196.12 of that
Act and makes several other minor amendments to provide consistency
between the English and French versions.
