I call the meeting to order.
As we continue our hearings on the issue of Afghanistan, I would like to welcome this morning, from DND, Commodore Kavanagh, commander of Canadian Forces health services group and director general of health services; and General Hilary Jaeger, Canadian Forces surgeon general.
Welcome. We appreciate your being here. I know there's been some interest in your visit, so after your presentations I'm sure we'll have some pretty interesting questions from some of the members of the committee.
The floor is yours for your opening statements, and then we'll turn it over to questions from the members.
Welcome.
