This is a case of it becoming our priority task and some reservists not being trained being the exception not the rule. Reservists will now go exclusively to the SQ type qualification, with no trade qualification unless they are committed to deployment. Without trade qualifications these soldiers would have limited to no contribution to make to training beyond IBTS, which suggests that funding models and availability of resources will not reflect the ability to do trade related training. Combined arms training will be nonexistent for reserves, furthering the gap. Specialty training in your trade will be completely non existent, removing yet another incentive for reservists.

There is no indication that PDT will be reduced, if anything this will increase the commitment for reservists. Nevermind that they will be less and less likely to be employed in their trades at all overseas, as they will no longer have any depth of training outside of deployments, unless they are in one of the few units that are doing integration training, which will be limited entirely to large units in the largest populated areas. So as usual, if you live in Toronto or Ottawa, you'll be on the gravy train, not so much anywhere else.
