Thank you very much, Mr. Chair, and through you to the witnesses, thank you for appearing today.
My first questions will be to Colonel Blais.
As most of us here know—however, I believe that most Canadians don't know—the JPSU system was only created some six years ago by this government.
What was the situation like for the ill and injured soldiers prior to the creation of the JPSUs in 2008? What programs were available prior to 2008?
