Veterans Affairs committee  To begin with, veterans should be mentored and taught how to manage a business budget. Managing a personal budget and a business budget are two very different things. In the military, you don't learn how to manage a budget at all because it's not really part of military life as such.

Veterans Affairs committee  You could call me on my cell phone, if you wish, and we could talk about it.

Veterans Affairs committee  Generally speaking, if we really want to help veterans, they need to be asked at the outset what they're interested in. After that, their task needs to be facilitated, because it's often not clear and they wonder where they're going to find the resources. It's true that there are some good programs, but concretely, the steps to be followed are not obvious.

Veterans Affairs committee  I've seen a lot of former members of the military start a business. They tell themselves they're going to go into business, be their own boss and do what they want. However, they are often fooling themselves by thinking that because they've been in the military, and have training and leadership skills, they have what it takes to be an entrepreneur.

Veterans Affairs committee  I didn't hear the question very well, but I think Mr. Rogers asked what fields should be prioritized for veterans. I don't believe that there is any particular field that needs to be focused on. As Mr. Davis was saying, every individual has followed a different course. After having been a service member for many years and having given to their country, the time will come for them to change and do what they want in life.

Veterans Affairs committee  Mr. Davis has in fact, identified the major challenge with respect to prior learning recognition. I'll put on my entrepreneur/investor hat to talk about the financial side of things. Human and financial aspects are important. They are the key to prior learning recognition. I don't know how many thousands of dollars Canada contributed to Mr.

Veterans Affairs committee  I wanted to talk about investments, but I'll…

Veterans Affairs committee  I'm going to make a proposal and I'll be very brief about it. I personally will always be prepared to hire veterans. Occupational health and safety is a field that's very accessible for veterans because they have a critical eye, leadership ability and poise, and are rarely impressed by stubborn people.

Veterans Affairs committee  Thank you very much for the question Mr. Miao. I was hoping someone would ask me. The answer is definitely yes. I'll give you an example. Our company is currently working with someone who is making the transition to civilian life, and who is going to leave the Canadian Armed Forces to begin working for one of our companies, Michel Larouche Consultants RH inc., which specializes in human resources.

Veterans Affairs committee  Well, I had about 13 years of experience in the Canadian Armed Forces. But I don't know whether the programs for reservists are different from those available to active members of the Canadian Armed Forces. Here's what I suggest. It would be important to find out where the obstacles are.

Veterans Affairs committee  I was a reservist at the end of my career. In the reserve, we're hearing a lot less about programs for veterans. After leaving the reserve officially in March 2022, I began to hear a bit more about these programs. Prior to that, however, I had not heard much about it, if at all.

Veterans Affairs committee  Good evening, everyone. My name is Alexandre Tremblay and I am the chief executive officer of the Prévactions group, which includes the Webex digital agency and Prévactions, a firm specializing in occupational health and safety. I would like to talk a bit about my career. I have always been in the military system.
