Yes, it's about building that resiliency from the start for anything like that, because what it comes down to, and I've said this. In any of these programs this can't be seen as a handout to the military, because as a member who wears the uniform I'm not going to accept a handout. I've gone through 10 years of military training. You can call it “too proud”, but also, I believe in my own skills. I believe that I have the right stuff to do the job. I've always proved, both in Canada and overseas, that I can do the job, so this has to be seen as a hand up, not a handout.
