Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Mr. Fleming, I want to ask you a question concerning the transition period you mentioned in your opening statement.
You said it would be good that there be a 6 to 12-month transition period before the military person is released to civilian life. Afterwards you talked about the possibility of sponsorship. You also touched on a topic I find interesting, that of administration courses. Not only could this allow a veteran to offer his or her services to a business that works in the area of administrative services, but this could even allow them to start a business. I am thinking of a number of veterans who experienced some unfortunate circumstances. They used their lump sum payment to start businesses, but may not have had a good basis in administration, and experienced total failure.
In short, it would be interesting if you could go back to this matter of the administration courses. Also, do you think that the help of a guidance officer at the very beginning of that transition period could be useful so that a member of forces could be guided toward his fields of interest?
