Thank you, Mr. Chair, and thank you both for being here today.
Sir, I understand you have an advisory committee and they advise you and your office, not only on matters relating to the overall well-being and fair treatment of members in the defence community, but they also make observations and comments on the systemic problems within DND and the Canadian armed forces. These folks also recommend ways to deal with these issues and serve as a sounding board for various initiatives and recommendations that are considered by you and your office. This committee could arguably carry a lot of weight on how you and your office operate and make those decisions. Would you be able to describe, sir, how you put this particular advisory committee together? What types of people are currently serving under you as advisers?
