Thank you, Chair.
I want to thank the members here who have testified. Thank you both for your tremendous service.
Of course, Mr. Davis, I really appreciate the advocacy you're doing for the Persian Gulf War vets in bringing awareness and recognition of that situation. We must always acknowledge that service. When our country and citizens fail to do so, I think it's so important that you stand up and do that work and that we all do our best to support that voice being heard.
Coming back to this study, one of the things both of you talked about that impacted me was the idea of translating what it means when you serve into civilian skills, the fact that it isn't done at all and that often members will have to retake training for things they're already very skilled in to prove that they know what they know. I thought it was very important that you talked about the security clearance you received. Of course, when you move into civilian life, that clearance is not translated into civilian life. Again, it feels like a way of not celebrating the tremendous training and effort and the people who serve our country, and I think that's very shameful.
Could you speak a little about what you think would help with that? During the transition process, however that transition process goes in leaving the military and moving into civilian life, should there be a process included in which you have the military outline your qualifications, almost like a verification that you can bring to future employers? Do you think that would support veterans in moving forward into civilian life?
Mr. Davis, I will ask you first, and then Mr. Tremblay.
