PMedMoe said:The same amount of time they will allow them to work for PS (or any other job for that matter) and collect a pension.
Double-dipping it may be, but don't forget, they earned that pension by fulfilling a 20 year (or longer) contract.
I really want that can of worms icon.
From a narrow legal perspective, there is one force: the Canadian Armed Forces. There are two components currently of that force: The Regular Force, and the Reserve Force.
The Regular Force is personnel enrolled for continuing full time service; the Reserve Force is personnel enrolled for other than continuing full-time service when not on active service. (National Defence Act or NDA descriptions)
(PLEASE - for the love of whatever deity you may follow - let's not go down the "What is Active Service?" rabbit hole.)
If a Regular Force member transfers to the Reserve Force and immediately resumes full-time military service, is DND just playing fast and loose with the rules? What has changed from the NDA perspective? (This also leads to the question - at what point should a Reservist on full-time service be automatically enrolled in the Regular Force as they are engaged in "continuing full-time service").
Lots and lots of worms in our current employment frameworks - while some argue we're not breaking the law, no one can deny we're stretching it to the limit, at the very least...
