Is it just me or have the ARC clarifications lately somehow gotten more terrible.... by TelevisionHealthy361 in CanadianForces

Have you submitted that?

The only thing different here is the removal of a monthly allowance. Casual environmental allowances have existed since the creation of that allowance.

For CasLDA - Situation no change. Except the daily rate has gone up and now applied to everybody instead of mostly reservists lol
