NICKERSON, Michael, "Another Lullaby", Esprit de Corps, Canadian Military Then & Now, Jun 2018, Vol.25(5), p.20; 
Nickerson reflects on Minister of National Defence, Harjit Sajjan should quit politics. Consider the
recent announcement to amend Canada's National Defence Act. If passed, Bill C-77 will attempt
to bring the military judicial system from something Admiral Nelson would recognize to that of
a modern day nation. Amongst other changes, the amendments would see the introduction of a bill
of rights for victims (reflecting recent legislation for civilian courts), the establishment of special
liaison officers to help military personnel, family members and civilians find their way through the system.
