Good afternoon.
Yet again, we have our meeting of the veterans affairs committee. Today, pursuant to Standing Order 108(2), we have our study of the veterans affairs ombudsman.
We have witnesses before us today from the Korea Veterans Association of Canada: Mr. Les Peate, national president; and Gord Strathy, national secretary.
The way we generally work it, gentlemen, is that we open it up to allow about 20 minutes of commentary, or 10 minutes each if you like. After that, we rotate questions among us on a pre-determined seven-minute and five-minute rotation. That's for them to ask questions and see if you have anything else to add to your comments.
You gentlemen may begin if you like.
