Veterans Affairs committee  It was close to 35 degrees today, so it's truly warm there. My wife and I unfortunately like the cold and snow. Why we're settling in Texas I truly don't know. I'm sorry it's taking me so long. I guess my fingers aren't quite as young as they used to be.

Veterans Affairs committee  Thank you. First, I'd like to say that it's a pleasure and an honour to be here before this committee. Second, I'd like to thank you for the work you're doing for Canadian veterans. I think this committee speaks volumes for your interest in Canadian veterans. I'm not a combat veteran , but I was on active duty in the U.S.
