Retired general claims $72K in moving expenses (CTV)

[The Bread Guy]

Are all our politicians fools to hire complete morons as their advisers? 

Not to mention fool enough to follow bad advice if that's what the morons suggest?  Or ignore good advice if that's what they got?

 

[Occam]

CGCS doesn't list a crystal ball  , but the NSN above should be ordered and sent to CTV .

I was wondering who would be curious enough to look up the NSN.  My money was on ArmyVern. 

 

[The Bread Guy]

Bumped with the latest ....

The federal government will no longer cover moving costs for retiring members of the Canadian military who are relocating within a 40-kilometre radius ....

The Info-machine version:

The Government of Canada has announced changes to the Intended Place of Residence (IPR) policy for retiring Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) members. Following a review by the Department of National Defence, the Government of Canada is amending the IPR policy to apply only to members moving outside a 40 km radius within a one-year period following their retirement. This change will better align the IPR policy with those of other federal government departments and agencies such as the RCMP. It will also include compassionate exceptions for medical reasons and extenuating personal circumstances ....

 

[PuckChaser]

So it looks like now you just have to wait a year and still claim IPR in the same city and get that cost move as you're entitled to the move for up to 2 years? Really doesn't look like a huge hit, but the public will see it as us being "fiscally responsible".

 

[dapaterson]

Reading the press release, it sounds like it will now have to be in excess of 40 km and within one year of release; the second year will no longer be there either.

I expect a CANFORGEN in short order to provide the details...

 

[kratz]

I hope there is a grandfather clause, if not the grievances will follow.

Except that one cannot grieve TB policies.

So, is there also going to be a review to align other benifits with other department and agencies?  Like interest payment when breaking a mortgage or CMHC insurance?

 

[Wolseleydog]

Serious question for the many admin SMEs here: what about those in PMQs at time of retirement?

They must vacate (within how long?) upon release.  What if they wish to retire in the same city? 

Any provision for that?

Just curious -- this is the first thought that popped into my head upon hearing this.

 

[McG]

You will need to wait for the new policy to be published for that answer.

:rofl:

Oh, I'm sorry.  You were serious.

There will be a grandfather clause

Sweet. Overtime!

:goodpost:

Thanks for that George.  I didn't realize the CANFORGEN had been issued already.

I'm glad to see that at least they addressed the issue of personnel residing in crown controlled housing.  Not often a policy changes and something "smart" is included in it!
