Good afternoon, everyone.
This is meeting number 72 of the Standing Committee on National Defence. We're going to continue with our study on the care of the ill and injured Canadian Forces members.
Joining us today in the first hour is Pierre Daigle, the National Defence and Canadian Forces ombudsman. He is joined by Mary Kirby, the director of strategic outreach, planning, and research.
I welcome both of you to the committee. We're looking forward to your comments.
I have Mr. McKay asking for the floor.
