In keeping with my comment with respect to some of the transition support we are pursuing with corporate Canada, I would submit to you that by virtue of the training, education, and professional development that Canadian Forces members from corporal on up acquire, attain, and practise on a regular basis, they would be well positioned to exercise leadership and decision-making and move out on a whole series of professional fronts, both in and outside the federal government. If that were something the government, either through HRSDC or elsewhere, was willing to pursue, we would certainly be at that table.
