I'll make a tough comment here. When we were developing a policy in 2011, it was the public service union that came to the department and would not allow us to expand the policy. All they would agree to at the time was to open it up for medically released veterans, who then had a statutory priority, as opposed to a regular priority. The public service union said no, they were not going to push it, and the public service itself agreed. The public service did not want it to go beyond medically released veterans.
On April 10th, 2019. See this statement in context.
