Thank you very much.
Thank you very much for being here today.
It's a real pleasure to see you again, Deputy Minister.
We heard a little earlier today about the MFRCs from my colleague from Kingston and I'd like you to elaborate on what we're doing to close this seam between active military service members and veterans. The reason I'm asking that is we've seen some demonstrated efforts in terms of opening up MFRC access to veterans and their families post-career, as well as the joint suicide prevention strategy where we see the Minister of Veterans Affairs and Associate Minister of National Defence and the Minister of National Defence working lockstep to close that seam.
I know that is an item in both ministers' mandate letters about that transition group that we were announcing in the DPR. Could you elaborate on those initiatives that we're doing to make sure that we're working lockstep to support the Canadian Armed Forces members, whether active or inactive service, and the families that support them along the way?
