Yes.
Indeed, if you go back post-war, that was one of the priorities of Veterans Affairs, employing veterans at AECL, Atomic Energy, or government people. But it might well be, as said by the Legion, that a person might not be qualified. That's why I recommended that indeed he or she be given priority to go to college or university, to be upgraded.
I certainly believe that if a veteran or RCMP is qualified in certain positions within the government—I don't like the idea of bumping civilians, but I think that veterans are special people; in particular, they fought in war or have been injured—he or she certainly should be given priority for employment, as I recommended in the presentation for the NATO Veterans.
