We have veterans who are in executive positions. In fact, my ADM is a former rear-admiral from the navy. We have people who are working at various levels within the department. We are actively pursuing commissioned and non-commissioned officers, looking at whatever opportunities line up. What I find interesting is that sometimes people do not necessarily want to work at a level that is commensurate with their level. They just want a change. It depends on what they want as well. That's an important factor to take into account.
There is an important area that we do want to work more on. We started a mentoring network called Veterans Amongst Us within Veterans Affairs Canada to promote inclusion. Another important piece is that veterans do need some support in the transition to the public service life. We are also looking at how we can find mentors who can support veterans who are just coming into the public service to help them acclimatize to the public service culture.
