Thanks, Mr. Chair.
Madame Richard, you were born into a military family. Thank you for carrying on the tradition. That tends to happen in military families.
I know in my own family, I didn't carry on the tradition, but I have 75 years, between my father and my two sisters, of service. My brother-in-law also fought in the Gulf War.
With that in mind, I just want you to know that all on this committee care deeply about our veterans, and I would suspect that everybody on this committee has some direct connection with military service.
I certainly agree with you when you state that you have earned and deserve the best care. I believe that fully. Having travelled many places around the world with my father, he has earned and deserves the best care. All veterans have, without question.
Now, when you heard that the Scientific Advisory Committee on Veterans' Health was going to be established to study depleted uranium, how did you feel?
