I have a personal experience.
I left the uniform in 2014, and in the last 10 years of my career, you're right, the interest from the Canadian public was growing. We could feel it on the bases. We could feel it in the streets. You could experience it. I only joined Veterans Affairs a couple of years ago, but there is a real sense that it is a meaningful and important experience. I'd like to think that the program work that Paul and Rick and others are responsible for has only magnified it.
Thank you.
