Thanks, Mr. Chair.
General, congratulations on a very distinguished career. I have a sneaking suspicion that whatever you do next will involve giving back to society as well. I appreciate your service and all that you've done for us.
Let me start with some of the comments you opened with. You talked about the institution being on an upswing. You also talked about the incredible pace of change that the Canadian Armed Forces has witnessed. It's 10 years of change that we probably would have seen over the last 50 years, which I think is very telling of what kinds of changes have occurred in a very short period of time.
It's human nature, though, that there are oftentimes small pockets of people who resist change. That's just how things are. We're dealing with a big institution. It's not a small office environment where we're changing the rules and there are a couple of people we need to get on board. We're talking about thousands of people in an institution that's been around for a long time.
When you're in the process of trying to change the culture of the institution in an accelerated time frame and you have resistance, what kind of advice do you give to whoever fills your shoes next on how to deal with the small group of people who just can't see the path forward?
