Thank you very much, Mr. Chair, and through you to the witnesses, thank you for attending here.
The first question would be to Tim.
In my previous occupation, which was paramilitary, before we transitioned out of the police force—in my case, I retired—we had a retirement preparation course. It was only a day or two; I think it was two days. Is there something similar in the military? In other words, somebody says they're going to leave the military. Is there a specific course that prepares them?
What I found very valuable was that part of that course had several members who had retired saying how it affected their relationship with their family. All of sudden you don't have to put in 40 hours a week, or maybe you want to do something else, etc. There are also financial implications: What am I entitled to? What's my retirement pay? How does that compare? What is your experience?
Is there something in the military currently? Isn't that what you're talking about, preparing people for that transition to civilian life and what the options are?
