Mr. Chair, as I said earlier, my intention is to treat this as I would have a higher command position in the military. I will find a chief of staff, a director general of operations, or a second-in-command, if you will, who understands the machinations of government and knows how to make things happen.
My place is in the trenches with the troops, getting out there and putting a face and a voice on our endeavours. I'm looking forward to meeting as many veterans as I can and developing an empathy with them. It started with my visit to Mr. Babcock's residence in Spokane last week.
