translate English to French: In principle, he could consider it;  but because of the restrictions accompanying his new medical rating, he had  become unfit for that trade, and remustering was impossible. That was the  reason for the decision to release him from the army, a decision which  counsel for the Commission said was an attempt to solve the problem of the  bitterness of Mr. Rivard's co-workers.
En principe, il  pouvait l'envisager; mais, à cause des restrictions dont sa nouvelle cote  médicale était assortie, il était devenu inapte audit métier, et le  reclassement ne put se faire; d'où la décision de le libérer de l'armée,  décision qui avait, selon le procureur de la Commission, comme fondement  «le règlement d'un problème d'amertume des co-employés de M. Rivard.»
