If you go to the Governor General/DH&Rs website, it explains how to wear decorations on a Business Suit etc. Technically, they are the final authority when it comes to medals, awarding them, and how/when they are worn. I think this citation is amplifying wearing medals etc that aren't technically yours.

My Groomsmen and I will be wearing our miniatures on our Tuxes for my wedding next year.
