Mr. Eugene Clonan:

I want two-way communication and to build a just culture within the Coast Guard and among the volunteers. Any time I go round the teams, it is about ensuring there is dignity and respect at work, a safe place of work and a just culture. I am a friend to the volunteers, but I am also their manager, if the Deputy follows me. It is that relationship. I do not step over that. We have a professional relationship with the volunteers and there is respect and openness on both sides. We have our values. We got the volunteers and the full-time staff together and asked them what the values of the Coast Guard are. We have the Civil Service values. The values the staff voted for are respect for one another and pride in what we do.
