My biggest fear is inertia. We talk and talk about doing things, but nothing happens, so that's my biggest fear. If someone asked me what keeps me awake at night, it's just that.
I'll go back. It's not only Veterans Affairs and the Canadian Forces getting closer together to do work. Let's talk about programs that are inside the Canadian Forces. I used the post living deferential as an example in my opening comments. There is a program that's available for members, should they have to move from one location to another, to help balance the basket of goods, as it were, but it has not been updated for eight or nine years.
When I'm on the road doing town halls and talking to the constituents and the families, I believe the point of frustration now has gotten to “We don't care what it is, just tell us what it's going to be”, because people are making life decisions.
My biggest fear, whether we get closer to working with Veterans Affairs and the Canadian Forces or whatever we're tackling, is inertia. We talk a lot about a lot of things, but I never see a lot of things happen on the ground.
