Mr. Speaker, I would like to remind the House that retired military personnel have the same rights and privileges as all Canadians.
One set of guidelines we follow is federal legislation. All Canadians have an opportunity to compete for these jobs. We are monitoring the situation to see that there are no instances in which people are being favoured because of their former involvement in the armed forces. It is of great concern to us.
The hon. member should know that everyone should be treated fairly, and they will be.
