I'm specifically trying to get vets who are medically released or who leave the service into the public service. I'm dealing with a group in Edmonton that is a mixed group. Some were medically released, and some left the service. They run into this qualification thing. They have incredible skills, but they can't get even entry level jobs because of the qualifications.
We've heard before from other people appearing here—not vets hiring into public service but just people trying to get into the public service—that roadblocks are put up specifically by the hiring people so they can hire specific..... They call it nepotism, but they're not hiring family. They're hiring their friends or hiring people they prefer, as opposed to the best candidate or the candidate that's required.
Do you think that continues? Is it a big issue—it appears to me it is—that people are using these qualifications to keep out vets who should be hired?
