We're proposing today the start of a conversation. I have not yet put together, with pen to paper, what we'd exactly like to see, because we don't believe we're the only partner at the table.
We believe the Chamber of Commerce, the Business Council of Canada, trade unions, employers in this country.... When I say employers, I think of large telcos, large banks, Canadian Tire and Tim Hortons. I think of large employers that are spread across this country whose employees could easily move from location to location.
When we talk about the mental health of a serving member of the military, I believe that if we're taking care of the family.... I do believe, as you said, that when members serve in our military, their families serve right alongside them. They carry that stress and anxiety. If we could do one small thing that helps them feel better about the world, and where it's going.... Even as members move into their own retirement from the military, knowing that their spouses and children are in a good place is going to help them feel good about retraining.
We see other post-secondary institutions being a part of this conversation. We've not defined the whole program, but I do believe our country would benefit from doing this.
To Mr. Desilets' comments, I believe that's what you asked us to do. It's to come with some ideas and come with what we can propose and bring ideas from different people to the table.
