Chair, I'm setting my timer to six minutes.
Mr. Ryan, thank you so much for being here and for all that you provided to us in that short five minutes. It gives me a sense that you have a good understanding of some of the challenges our veterans face, specifically in this field. I deeply appreciate Community Futures Network of Canada and the work they do, especially rurally. I'm from Saskatchewan, and I know they do great work.
I hope you can assist me with this question from the previous witness. Mr. Morrow is a veteran, and he commented that when he transitioned out of the service, it took between 10 and 15 years to get to the point at which he was ready to be an entrepreneur. He has the gifts and the talents; there's no question. However, in that transition time—and those of us on this committee and at Veterans Affairs know this—there isn't a lot of focus on entrepreneurial spirit, moving forward in that area for veterans. We need that. The reality is that our veterans take a while—the majority of them—to transition to being ready for that type of thing.
Do you find this in those whom you've had the opportunity to interact with or in conversations you have had with your son, son-in-law or whomever? Do you sense when they would be ready to do that, if they have that spirit?
