That's great. Thank you.
Again, I apologize for the interruption.
I'm glad we were able to dispose of the motion quickly. I'm obviously disappointed that we couldn't get the support of the other parties in the room. I think it's important to ensure that the services are maintained and not wait until they're disrupted and then try to deal with it. It's unfortunate, but I'm pleased that we were at least able to move back to the witnesses quickly. That's good.
Let me start with Helmets to Hardhats.
Mr. Maloney, you had mentioned, in response to an earlier question, the qualifications of veterans, about taking their qualifications from their military service and applying them to the private sector. Some of the work that you have done in Helmets to Hardhats ensures that there's opportunity in the trades, in particular, for those things to happen for veterans. I commend you for the work that you've done in that area.
Can you maybe just tell us if you have any barriers to being able to do that? Are there things that are preventing it from being done on a broader scale, even beyond the work that you guys do at Veterans Affairs, or at the Canadian Armed Forces level as well? Are there things that could be done differently or better to make sure that there is the ability for veterans to have those qualifications harmonized as they come out of the forces so they are able to access private sector employment?
Certainly, I've heard from veterans over the last while, for sure, about some of the challenges they seem to have in terms of having their skills and qualifications from the armed forces recognized. Obviously, the work you're doing has to be helpful in that regard. Is there anything that the Canadian Armed Forces or Veterans Affairs could do to better enable those skills to be transferred over, so veterans are able to access private sector employment?
