Mr. Chair, I'll give you a two-pronged answer. First of all, for those people who are releasing and who want to stay associated with Defence, there is really a civilian tangent to the answer and a military tangent.
On the civilian side, I refer to the priority hiring that's available within the public service. The overriding criterion, though, has to be the ability to be competent in the job. So through the vocational rehabilitation services that we provide through the insurance program, if somebody wants to be a heavy equipment operator, they can go and follow that training with a view to becoming a heavy equipment operator in the public service, but they still have to be competent for the job. So we look to facilitate that.
The second one is if someone has a burning desire to remain and wear the uniform every day, we will offer them an opportunity to stay in either the cadet organization or as part of the administration of the Canadian Rangers, where the principles of universality of service do not apply. If they would elect to do so, we will transfer them, but that would mean they'd no longer be an infanteer or a bosun or a pilot, but they would still be able to be part of the uniformed family, if you would.
