If you are offering the opportunity, it makes sense. If there's an opportunity that exists, but they don't meet the qualifications, that opportunity may remain open or may reopen at some point in time. Who knows? The amendment doesn't say they must or anything like that. If it gives them the opportunity to meet those qualifications and they're so inclined, why not have that opportunity be given to them? Why not offer that kind of support of retraining, which is really the goal of the regulations in the first place, the new Veteran's Charter, and this. It would be entirely consistent.
