I will believe that when I see it.
It is interesting that reservists seem to be in a position to attend marches and parades in uniform whereas others are not. This section needs to be thought out again. It is strange that reservists could do the things set out in paragraph (a) of this new subsection while permanent members of the Defence Forces cannot.
