Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Through you, thank you to everybody for coming today.
Ministers, I appreciate you being here. I know the hard work that both of you are doing on this file.
It's a delight to see Mr. Ross again. In my former role at the Canadian Forces College, I know he spent a significant amount of time teaching his craft to many of the officers at the college to give them a better understanding of ADM materiel.
I thank you for that, Mr. Ross, because I often listened to your lectures and learned a lot, and hopefully I retained a lot.
To the veteran in the room, at the back, welcome, sir, to this session of the committee. Thank you for being here.
Minister MacKay, I see that there's approximately $4.7 million in funding requested for enhancing support to severely injured members of the Canadian Forces in what's called the “legacy of care” program.
Sir, can you describe to the committee what exactly this program is and the services that are provided to the injured members of the CF?
