I want to thank you for this incredible opportunity to speak to you all and hear your wonderful answers.
We sometimes tend to look at veterans as liabilities on a balance sheet. From my experience working with the civilian population, and particularly those with high risk, I think we really should be looking at veterans and soldiers as assets. The training, the experience, the teamwork, and the values they bring to our society far surpass the qualities of many civilians I've seen in the job development world. We must find a way to involve them in civilian life, for if Canada loses their talents, we will lose an incredible asset.
Thank you.
