Yes. That is why I was a little uncomfortable about the question earlier. I want to come back to it now. I am sorry to dwell on this. When I talk about a pension, I am really talking about people who, at some point during their military career, become wounded or ill, and their wound or illness is recognized as resulting from an event related to their duty. Those people receive a pension of a certain amount, even if they are not on active service. If something happens to a 20-year-old man who still has 20 years to serve, he will receive a pension, but it will be a minimum amount. That is because he will still be receiving his pay because he will continue to work. When he stops working or leaves the army, he will receive a full pension in keeping with his disability level or his rank when he left the army. We are really talking about a pension here.
Retirement, on the other hand, is subject to the rules governing retirement for public servants. Let us take the example of an army officer. In the army, there are career officers and contract officers. If a career officer, who would spend his career in the army, decides to leave suddenly after 20 years, he will not get a pension until after 25 years of service, because he is still active. A 20-year-old colonel will be entitled to a retirement pension after 25 years. That is how it works.
On the other hand, a contract officer in the army who stays 12 years—we are not talking about a career here, but 12 years with renewals—after 12 years he is entitled to a retirement pension that does not really enable him to stop working. He has to find another job. So if we are talking about pensions, yes, he can get a pension after just 12 years in the army if he is a contract officer. A career officer will get a full pension at the maximum age for his rank, that is, after 25 years. That is retirement. There is really no connection with the pension. These are two completely different things.
