I'm going to bring this back to order. We're going to continue moving along.
We're joined now by Colonel Fletcher. Colonel John Fletcher is the acting chaplain general. He's joined by Major Shaun Yaskiw, who is the reserve chaplain at the directorate of chaplain operations.
I'll give you a quick background on Padre Fletcher. He first enrolled in the Canadian Forces in 1980. He got his Bachelor of Science degree from the RMC back in 1984, and was commissioned to the rank of second lieutenant. After RMC he went on, in 1987, to get a Master of Divinity degree at Trinity College at the University of Toronto, and was ordained as an Anglican deacon in the diocese of Fredericton. He went into full-time service in the Canadian Forces chaplaincy in 1989. He's been posted to Halifax and Calgary, and was promoted in November to archdeacon of the Anglican Military Ordinariate of Canada, and serves as honorary assistant in the Anglican parish of All Saints' Anglican Church Westboro in the diocese of Ottawa.
Welcome, Padre.
Welcome, Major Yaskiw.
We're looking forward to your opening comments.
