RICHARD ALLEN SCOTT THROUGH THE YEARS 2000 In April, I left HVR Canada Inc., as the company was going to close its Canadian operation. Since I was the last one on, I’d be the first one off, so to speak, so I found employment at another tech consulting firm, APG Solutions and Technologies, in May. While I was busy working on potential contracts, none actually happened…I wasn’t bringing in revenue for the firm, and so was getting kind of anxious. I stayed busy by being ‘creative’ and putting together documentation that would be of benefit to the firm internally. Not to worry though, in September they were bought out by CGI Group Inc., a very large Canadian high-tech firm. They absorbed all of us APG’ers and put us at desks in hallways as they didn’t have space for us in offices. We weren’t expected to sit at those desks for very long…we had to hustle for contracts and generate revenue. They didn’t want us in the office at all, but at client sites. CGI at that time was going through a massive acquisition of smaller firms, and those who came over to CGI were not especially welcomed by the existing CGIers, in my opinion…not very friendly. I managed to get a good contract in the RCMP where I identified a governance structure model for business continuity management within the RCMP and performed an allencompassing risk assessment and business impact analysis across all business lines, concerning the delivery of national RCMP services from and within the National Capital Region. A big job that took me about 4 months. I presented the RCMP client with a couple of ‘bricks’ – large documents containing findings, options and recommendations…and walked off into the sunset. One nice thing about this consulting business. You ‘did your thing’, presented documents, and then disappeared, without worrying about what they did with them! A little hard to get used to since my life up until then had been all about implementing solutions. I quickly got used to walking away without worrying. Robyne started as a customer service agent at First Air in the Ottawa airport. Tim was appointed National Logistics Effectiveness Manager for Nestlé. June 2017 203
RICHARD ALLEN SCOTT THROUGH THE YEARS We had Jordan on the weekends while Chris was away, so she got to phone him regularly. Graduation was on November 6. Tim, Sharon and I stayed in the Officers’ Mess at “Depot”, while Mum stayed with an old friend in Regina. This was the year that Christopher finally made it into the RCMP. He first had to have his eyes ‘fixed’, so had laser surgery to remedy the problem, then it was off to “Depot” Division in Regina in June. At that time, the RCMP, in its efforts to reduce costs, introduced the stupid policy that recruits did not get paid, and had to purchase all their needs during the 6 months of training. They were trying to treat it like University. That policy was eventually eliminated, but not until after Christopher was through. We had to subsidize him while he was there, and he also got himself a loan…so he could continue his lifestyle in the manner to which he had become accustomed.
