Let me begin by thanking you for your service to Canada and your ongoing service to veterans. We all appreciate that very much.
In your service to veterans, you wrote quite an astonishing letter. I don't recall an ombud, an officer of Parliament or anybody in this type of watchdog capacity or independent capacity from government explicitly advising a minister to delete sections from a bill before Parliament.
Let's just be as clear as we can be. We heard your opening statement. We're going to review this bill clause by clause. Is it your recommendation to this committee that we delete clauses 373 to 375?
