Veterans Affairs committee  In fact, that is why we have often suggested putting an accreditation system in place that would include structured best practices that all employers could follow. I have learned a lot from Mr. Sangster's testimony and the testimony given by the University of Ottawa representative who appeared before the committee on Thursday last week.

Veterans Affairs committee  We wanted to create a different path for veterans to be hired by us, so we have a specific landing page for them, which is gardaworld.com/military. They get into an environment where we try to speak their language as much as we can, so they're submitting their resumés or CVs through to specific recruiters whom we've actually trained in understanding the title and the career path that they had in the past.

Veterans Affairs committee  Thank you for the question, Madam Blaney. Essentially, we had a chance to build a veterans advisory board internally. We have active reservists as well, both on the officer side and on the rank side, across the country. Not only do we have a voice through that board; we are actually listened to.

Veterans Affairs committee  We can say that the new generation of veterans no longer resembles the generation from 1945, the year when the right of first refusal mechanism was adopted. Personally, I am like a majority of members of the military, who do not complete their full service, and leave the forces after a decade or so.
