I think you are an example in Nova Scotia. We need to do the same thing all across Canada. We have to start early so that when they become veterans, they have their Red Seal certification and have started an apprenticeship with a civilian industry and are ready to go.
In the public service transition to becoming a pensioner, people receive five years in advance training to get ready to be a retiree. We give veterans six months. I think we have to start to think about a much earlier transition, one that will start while they are doing their service.
I'd like to understand. I saw the other witnesses shaking their heads, so please intervene, Dr. Whelan, and then Mr. Stoffer.
