I hate to ask this, but I have another question here -- has his promotion to colonel been retroactively invalidated?
The reason I ask is that, as I read the details, his last valid expres test was back in 2008, which was (I believe) before his promotion. That would mean that he did not have a valid expres test, one of the requirements for promotion.
So has his promotion been retroactively invalidated? That would of course have implications for recovery of pay and, especially, on pension rate. Far beyond the $5000 fine.
Do I detect a hint of this, buried deep at the very bottom of that court martial statement (http://www.jmc-cmj.forces.gc.ca/en/2012-lewis.page), where it lists, at the very bottom, after all of the text, the two counsels, and the defence counsel is described as "Lieutenant-Commander B. Walden, Directorate of Defence Counsel Services, Counsel for LIEUTENANT-COLONEL Lewis" [emphasis added]
