Le vice-amiral Topshee s'est entretenu avec Samantha Parent pour revenir sur les quatre derni\u00e8res ann\u00e9es pass\u00e9es \u00e0 la t\u00eate de la Marine royale canadienne en tant que 38e commandant.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Le Vam Topshee revient sur son mandat de commandant de la Marine royale canadienne<\/h3>\n

Par MRC<\/strong><\/p>\n

Le 13 mai 2026, le vice-amiral (vam) Angus Topshee a \u00e9t\u00e9 annonc\u00e9 comme prochain vice-chef d\u2019\u00e9tat-major de la D\u00e9fense. Avant de quitter ses fonctions \u00e0 titre de commandant de la Marine royale canadienne, il s\u2019est entretenu avec Samantha Parent de l\u2019\u00e9quipe de la Commandant de la MRC afin de revenir sur les quatre derni\u00e8res ann\u00e9es. Dans cette entrevue, il aborde le leadership, les d\u00e9fis, les moments marquants et les r\u00e9alit\u00e9s du commandement.<\/p>\n

Regardez l\u2019entrevue<\/a> compl\u00e8te en vid\u00e9o ou lisez l\u2019\u00e9change ci-dessous.<\/p>\n

Cette entrevue a \u00e9t\u00e9 r\u00e9alis\u00e9e dans un format conversationnel non sc\u00e9naris\u00e9. Les versions anglaise et fran\u00e7aise ont \u00e9t\u00e9 produites \u00e0 partir d\u2019enregistrements distincts et peuvent pr\u00e9senter des diff\u00e9rences de structure et de contenu; elles ont toutefois toutes deux \u00e9t\u00e9s r\u00e9vis\u00e9s pour en assurer l\u2019exactitude.<\/p>\n

Premi\u00e8res le\u00e7ons de leadership<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Vous avez pass\u00e9 les quatre derni\u00e8res ann\u00e9es \u00e0 diriger la Marine royale canadienne, mais avant cela, vous \u00e9tiez un jeune officier en mer. Lorsque vous repensez \u00e0 cette version de vous-m\u00eame, quelle part de cette personne continue encore aujourd\u2019hui d\u2019influencer la fa\u00e7on dont vous dirigez?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Pour moi, c\u2019est vraiment mon premier commandant d\u2019un b\u00e2timent. C\u2019\u00e9tait le capitaine de fr\u00e9gate Dave Hudak \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9poque, c'\u00e9tait \u00e0 bord NCSM Winnipeg. Il avait une personnalit\u00e9 tr\u00e8s professionnelle, mais tr\u00e8s important d\u2019avoir du fun aussi. J\u2019avais l\u2019id\u00e9e que c\u2019\u00e9tait le qui \u00e9tait le meilleur m\u00e9tier au monde d\u2019\u00eatre capitaine de fr\u00e9gate. Pour moi, il a cr\u00e9\u00e9 une \u00e9quipe o\u00f9 tout le monde \u00e9tait capable de faire de son mieux chaque jour. Sa contribution avait beaucoup de valeur, mais il conviait toujours avec beaucoup de gratitude. J\u2019ai essay\u00e9 toujours de r\u00e9pliquer \u00e7a autant que possible \u00e0 chaque niveau de commandent et de cr\u00e9er une organisation o\u00f9 toute personne peut vraiment apporter le meilleur d\u2019elle-m\u00eame chaque jour au travail.<\/em><\/p>\n

Le poids du commandement<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Je pense que beaucoup de gens entendent le mot \u00ab commandement \u00bb et imaginent surtout l\u2019autorit\u00e9 ou les grades. Mais au cours de ces quatre derni\u00e8res ann\u00e9es, quels aspects du commandement vous a sembl\u00e9 le plus difficile ou le plus lourd sur le plan personnel?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Pour moi, c\u2019est la mort de ma\u00eetre Aplin \u00e0 bord du NCSM Montr\u00e9al a Bedford l\u2019an dernier. C\u2019est un rappel que la mer, c\u2019est toujours tr\u00e8s difficile. C\u2019est essentiel qu\u2019on soit toujours comp\u00e9tent et je pense qu\u2019on n\u2019\u00e9tait pas assez comp\u00e9tent cette nuit-l\u00e0. C\u2019est clair qu\u2019il y avait des erreurs.<\/em><\/p>\n

Nos investigations ont \u00e9t\u00e9 compliqu\u00e9es par le fait qu\u2019il y avait un proc\u00e8s criminel, une investigation qui a men\u00e9 \u00e0 un processus criminel. C\u2019est un rappel qu\u2019on a toujours du travail \u00e0 faire pour \u00eatre sur qu\u2019on est aussi comp\u00e9tent qu\u2019on a besoin d\u2019\u00eatre.<\/em><\/p>\n

Un moment marquant<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Quel moment, au cours des quatre derni\u00e8res ann\u00e9es, vous a le plus marqu\u00e9 ou rendu humble?<\/strong><\/p>\n

La mort du ma\u00eetre de 2e classe Aplin \u00e0 Bedford Basin. Je consid\u00e8re qu\u2019il s\u2019agissait d\u2019un d\u00e9c\u00e8s \u00e9vitable.<\/em><\/p>\n

Cela rappelle que la mer repr\u00e9sente toujours un danger. Si nous ne sommes pas pleinement pr\u00eats comme organisation, nous aurons des difficult\u00e9s.<\/em><\/p>\n

Cet \u00e9v\u00e9nement a r\u00e9v\u00e9l\u00e9 un certain niveau de complaisance que nous devons corriger. Il a aussi mis en lumi\u00e8re des lacunes dans notre fa\u00e7on d\u2019\u00e9valuer la situation, en partie compliqu\u00e9e par une enqu\u00eate criminelle.<\/em><\/p>\n

C\u2019est un moment qui m\u2019a fait r\u00e9aliser que nous devions faire mieux, et qu\u2019il reste encore beaucoup de travail \u00e0 accomplir.<\/em><\/p>\n

Pourquoi la Marine compte<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Beaucoup de Canadiens n\u2019ont jamais mis les pieds sur un navire de guerre et ne savent peut-\u00eatre m\u00eame pas que la canada a une marine. Comment expliquer-vous l\u2019importance de la Marine royale canadienne a quelqu\u2019un qui n\u2019a aucune exp\u00e9rience du milieu militaire?<\/strong><\/p>\n

C\u2019est vraiment une question difficile parce qu\u2019on essaie toujours de transmettre le message de la Marine. Le Canada a trois oc\u00e9ans. Il a une autre fronti\u00e8re maritime avec le fleuve Saint-Laurent et les Grands Lacs. Mais les Canadiens, c\u2019est presque comme si on ne pensait pas comme \u00e7a.<\/em><\/p>\n

Pour moi, c\u2019est vraiment important de convoyer aux Canadiens que si on veut vraiment \u00eatre un pays puissant, il faut avoir une marine puissante qui prot\u00e8ge ses mers pour assurer que le commerce canadien voyage sans concernes \u00e0 travers le monde. Si on veut augmenter notre prosp\u00e9rit\u00e9 et nos \u00e9changes avec d\u2019autres pays que les \u00c9tats-Unis, ce commerce va traverser les mers.<\/em><\/p>\n

C\u2019est tr\u00e8s important que les mers soient ouvertes pour tous. Je pense que les Canadiens ont l\u2019id\u00e9e que la s\u00e9curit\u00e9, ce n\u2019est pas peut-\u00eatre toutes le menaces qui sont pr\u00e9sentes aujourd\u2019hui dans nos trois oc\u00e9ans, mais alors c\u2019est tr\u00e8s important d\u2019avoir une marine pour prot\u00e9ger nos eaux, pour garantir qu\u2019il n\u2019y en ait aucune qui rentre dans nos eaux sans notre permission. C\u2019est vraiment la t\u00e2che de la Marine.<\/em><\/p>\n

J\u2019aimerais vraiment que chaque Canadien puisse \u00eatre \u00e0 bord d\u2019un navire pour une nuit. C\u2019est vraiment l\u00e0 o\u00f9 on comprend le m\u00e9tier d\u2019un matelot, d\u2019un marin, de nos officiers qui chaque jour vont voir le travail incroyable qu\u2019ils font au quotidien.<\/em><\/p>\n

Le fait que c\u2019est 24 heures par jour, sept jours par semaine et \u00e7a ne se passe jamais. Comme je l\u2019ai dit, la mer, c\u2019est vraiment une m\u00e8re autocrate. La mer, c\u2019est vicieux, \u00e7a tue si vous n\u2019\u00eates pas pr\u00eat. Mais il y a une beaut\u00e9, c\u2019est incroyable. Et de passer un jour en mer, c\u2019est vraiment de passer un jour parfois paradis, parfois quelque chose d\u2019autre. Pour moi, en net, c\u2019est excellent et j\u2019aimerais que chaque Canadien puisse venir en mer avec nous.<\/em><\/p>\n

Service et vie familiale<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Dans ce r\u00f4le, vous avez soulign\u00e9 l\u2019importance de prendre soin de la famille. Quels sacrifices votre famille et vous avez d\u00fb faire au cours de votre carri\u00e8re?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Oui, ma famille fait des sacrifices chaque jour. On n\u2019a jamais v\u00e9cu dans la m\u00eame maison pour plus de trois ans. On a beaucoup mut\u00e9. C\u2019\u00e9tait notre solution de rester ensemble comme famille la majorit\u00e9 du temps.<\/em><\/p>\n

Mais je sais que la solution est diff\u00e9rente pour chaque personne. Et c\u2019est tr\u00e8s important que la Marine essaie d\u2019aider chaque personne \u00e0 trouver sa propre solution pour elle et pour sa famille<\/em><\/p>\n

Mais c\u2019est important aussi de ne pas oublier ceux qui n\u2019ont pas de famille imm\u00e9diate, parce que souvent, quelqu\u2019un qui est par lui-m\u00eame, on se dit : \u00ab On peut le muter partout, on peut le d\u00e9ployer sans h\u00e9sitation parce qu\u2019il n\u2019a pas de famille. \u00bb Et c\u2019est la meilleure fa\u00e7on de s\u2019assurer qu\u2019ils n\u2019auront jamais de famille si on les traite comme \u00e7a. Je pense que c\u2019est important de trouver la meilleure m\u00e9thode, de trouver un \u00e9quilibre entre notre service quotidien, notre famille et nos besoins personnels.<\/em><\/p>\n

Mon \u00e9pouse \u00e9tait dans la Marine pendant 23 ans. On sait la difficult\u00e9 d\u2019\u00eatre tous deux dans la Marine, dans le Forces arm\u00e9es canadiennes. Ce n\u2019est pas facile. On essaie toujours d\u2019\u00eatre une meilleure organisation pour assurer que des familles puissent continuer \u00e0 contribuer comme \u00e7a.<\/em><\/p>\n

Mais c\u2019est important aussi de ne pas oublier ceux qui n\u2019ont pas de famille imm\u00e9diate, parce que souvent, quelqu\u2019un qui est par lui-m\u00eame, on se dit : \u00ab On peut le muter partout, on peut le d\u00e9ployer sans h\u00e9sitation parce qu\u2019il n\u2019a pas de famille. \u00bb Et c\u2019est la meilleure fa\u00e7on de s\u2019assurer qu\u2019ils n\u2019auront jamais de famille si on les traite comme \u00e7a. Je pense que c\u2019est important de trouver la meilleure m\u00e9thode, de trouver un \u00e9quilibre entre notre service quotidien, notre famille et nos besoins personnels.<\/em><\/p>\n

Je trouve que cet \u00e9quilibre est peut-\u00eatre un peu diff\u00e8rent pour chaque personne. Il\u2019 n\u2019u a pas une seule m\u00e9thode de trouver l\u2019\u00e9quilibre, mais c\u2019est important d\u2019\u00eatre une organisation qui aide tout le monde \u00e0 trouver le meilleur \u00e9quilibre, qu\u2019on puisse continuer \u00e0 contribuer chaque jour.<\/em><\/p>\n

Work-life balance means different things to different people. For some, it could be the hours you work that you find a way to flex in a bit of time to focus on family at the right moment. It could be a meaningful, emotional connection even while you\u2019re deployed. How do you achieve all those things? \u00a0We have tools to do some of that, but there will always be challenges and demands of service.<\/em><\/p>\n

Lorsque vous manquez des moments importants en famille \u00e0 cause du service, comment vivez-vous cela personnellement?<\/strong><\/p>\n

C\u2019est difficile. Je manque souvent des f\u00eates, des anniversaires et tout \u00e7a. J\u2019essaie toujours de trouver un moment de connexion au niveau \u00e9motionnel.<\/em><\/p>\n

J\u2019essaie toujours de trouver un moment de connexion au niveau \u00e9motionnel<\/em><\/p>\n

C\u2019est peut-\u00eatre un coup de t\u00e9l\u00e9phone, c\u2019est peut-\u00eatre une petite note. Je ne sais pas exactement ce que c\u2019est, mais c\u2019est de trouver quelque chose qui \u00e9tablit cette connexion au niveau personnel, au niveau \u00e9motionnel avec ma famille pour montrer que vraiment, je pense \u00e0 eux, m\u00eame si je ne suis pas l\u00e0 avec eux.<\/em><\/p>\n

Ce n\u2019est pas la pr\u00e9sence physique, c\u2019est la pr\u00e9sence \u00e9motionnelle.<\/em><\/p>\n

Conseils aux futurs leaders<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Quel serait votre message aux jeunes marins qui aspirent un jour \u00e0 devenir des leaders?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Pour moi, c\u2019est trouver votre place o\u00f9 vous avez vraiment envie, vous pensez que vous aimez faire \u00e7a. Et si vous aimez faire quelque chose, c\u2019est probable que vous aurez du succ\u00e8s. Et si vous avez du succ\u00e8s, \u00e7a va vraiment indiquer votre potentiel \u00e0 l\u2019organisation.<\/em><\/p>\n

Mais votre succ\u00e8s n\u2019est pas \u00e9tabli par votre position, promotion et tout \u00e7a. C\u2019est vraiment est-ce que votre contribution fait une diff\u00e9rence chaque jour, est-ce qu\u2019on aide les autres personnes.<\/em><\/p>\n

Pour moi, c\u2019est vraiment avoir un focus qui est beaucoup plus \u00e0 court terme pour ce que je peux faire aujourd\u2019hui pour am\u00e9liorer des choses et je trouve que c\u2019est du succ\u00e8s.<\/em><\/p>\n

On ne regarde pas \u00e0 long terme pour une carri\u00e8re. Prenez un petit pas chaque jour et votre succ\u00e8s n\u2019est pas \u00e9tabli par votre rang \u00e0 la fin, mais par votre impact sur les autres.<\/em><\/p>\n

Merci et je te souhaite bonne chance dans tes prochaines aventures aussi.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Oui, \u00e7a va \u00eatre tr\u00e8s int\u00e9ressant comme vice-chef d\u2019\u00e9tat-major de la d\u00e9fense.<\/em><\/p>\n

Le gouvernement a fait un grand investissement en d\u00e9fense. C\u2019est tr\u00e8s important qu\u2019on utilise cet investissement pour assurer la d\u00e9fense du Canada, pour prot\u00e9ger nos int\u00e9r\u00eats et pour assurer la prosp\u00e9rit\u00e9 du Canada par un train des investissements au Canada pour assurer cette d\u00e9fense.<\/em><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
