I'm talking pre-CANFORGEN CFPAS guidance/methodology versus what the new CANFORGEN directs. Historically, Section 5 was not supposed to be a simple continuation of section 4 in that it was to describe potential, not simply provide more examples of actual performance. Cautions against this were...

Under the "old" system, there was a clear distinction in the approaches to writing narratives in section 4 and section 5; section 4 was more descriptive of performance and written in past tense, with section 5 being more about how observed performance was indicative of capabilities for success...

You are entitled to your opinion. Have any facts to back it up?

We did that just a couple of years before CADPAT came out. Great kit, only problem with it was that it was blue and you couldn't deploy with it (as in to an operational theatre). I'm betting the RAAF will be back in green within 10 years (or not long after they deploy to whatever the next...

Good tip for sure. Another (and in my opinion better) option to consider, depending on the housing/rental market you are leaving before going OUTCAN, is to rent your home. You can still declare it as your principal residence IAW subsection 45(2) of the Income Tax Act as long as you declare all...

I remember differently. One of us is getting old  ;D

Correct. Movement grant used to be two values, one for <1000lbs and one for 1000lbs or more. The one for 1000lbs or more has always been $650 to my recollection. I remember on my first posting making sure the movers would take my cinder block and plywood "entertainment centre" to help me get to...

Like the $650 movement grant that's been $650 ever since I joined 25+ years ago?  :o  :)

I assume one can ATI MP expense claims, not just for the stuff that they have to make public but for everything associated with their housing, moves, etc... essentially every tax dollar that they, or their constituency offices, have ever spent for whatever reason imaginable? Anyone have any...

Babcock is over-coaching them. Can't expect a stable full of thoroughbreds to win races when you keeping pulling on the reins. They don't know what they're supposed to be doing when they're out there. Just let them play... like team USA. And they're going to have to shorten their bench in the...

Challenging a man on his politics and hammering his stance on various policies is 100% fair ball. Jump into the political arena and you do open yourself up to scrutiny for your actions whilst in public office. But having the MND smear a former General officer in the national press for having...

From the MND... “In the meantime, it is important for Andrew Leslie to explain why he believes this is a reasonable expense for hard working Canadians to absorb. This is a matter of judgment and the responsible use of taxpayers dollars." You don't see this as a veiled political attack against...

All of which could (and should) be undertaken as a matter of policy review within the department, not in the form of a public personal attack on an individual. Come on man...

Certainly. And I gotta say, I'm embarrassed that our MND would say the things he said, using the wording he used. Politics aside, very disrespectful to a man who has served his country as LGen Leslie has for 35 years. I just learned a lot about the integrity of the MND.

Good for him... and I hope he sticks it right up their asses... pardon my Spanish.

Something tells me we are about to find out.

I don't think Leslie will throw anyone under the bus (if that's what you're asking), as long as everything he claimed and received approval was above board. He can simply say he did nothing but follow the rules provided by TB and as administered by BRS. But it won't matter to the Cons. They will...

As previously noted, it's political now. And regardless of whether LGen Leslie did everything completely within the rules or not, you can rest assured that this will be another benefit that will have the screws tightened on it, all in the name of taxpayer accountability and scoring cheap...

Agreed. Why else would anyone be looking into his expense claims?

And don't forget about pension contribution increases as well as PSHCP premium increases in retirement... to name a few more.
