Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Let me begin first of all by saying that as Canadians we're closely monitoring the situation in Great Britain with respect to the terrorist attacks that have been going on lately, and I think I can say on behalf of the committee that we stand with you during this very difficult period you're going through.
I want to talk about the loss of identity. That's one of the issues we hear about so often as we deal with transitioning members from our Canadian Forces into civilian life. We do build our troops up to deal with combat, to deal in operational theatre situations, but we do very little in terms of bringing them down from that and preparing them for a transition into civilian life.
I'm wondering if you can speak to what program, if any, the British armed services has to prepare soldiers for their transition to civilian life, to bring them down from those operational combat and theatre situations.
