Meh. This is a benefit that is given to ALL service men. And I think they ALL deserve to use it however they see fit.
If Bob chooses to use the benefit to move from Regina to Halifax, bully for him.
Is Sally's home is too big and she wants to downsize to a smaller home within the same city, good for her. Use the benefit.
They all earned the benefit with their years of service to the country. They should all be able to use it to their advantage.
If we want to cut back the maximum expense and put the money into higher pensions for the lower ranks, that's fine by me. But I wouldn't want to cut overall compensation / benefits that our servicemen get by a single cent.
