I'd like to call the 84th meeting of the Standing Committee on National Defence to order.
The chair has been slightly delayed, so I'm chairing the meeting as vice-chair.
We're continuing our study on the care of ill and injured Canadian Forces members. Our first witness this afternoon is Colonel Russell Mann, director of Military Family Services for the Department of National Defence.
Colonel Mann, welcome to our committee. We would like to give you an opportunity to make a brief presentation for up to 10 minutes. We'll then proceed with questions. You're here for the first hour of our meeting.
Thank you, sir. You go right ahead.
