Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to the witnesses.
First and foremost, thank you for your service and for the tremendous care that you provide for each of those veterans you serve and their families. Oftentimes, the folks who work closest to and are nearest to those who are walking through the shadows, as it were, of life and circumstances never get the recognition they certainly deserve. Thank you for what you do. We appreciate it.
Veterans Affairs Canada, VAC, mentioned that there are, in its estimation, between 1,700 and 1,800 homeless veterans in Canada. Do you believe this number is accurate? Why or why not?
I'll ask both of you that question.
