What changed

Bill C-11 would amend the National Defence Act and other Acts to modernize Canada's military justice system. The bill has passed second reading, meaning the House of Commons has approved its general principles, and it has been referred to the Standing Committee on National Defence for detailed review and potential amendments before returning to the House for third reading and eventual passage into law.

Military legal professionals, Canadian Armed Forces personnel, and defence counsel should monitor the committee review process, as amendments during committee stage could substantially alter the bill's provisions before final passage.
