I'd like to thank the members here today for, first of all, your service, for those who are serving and have served, and for being here today.
I wanted to talk a bit about something that's near and dear to me, obviously. In terms of the recruitment of a Canadian Armed Forces member, throughout their career in the military, and then post-career, as Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Veterans Affairs and Associate Minister of National Defence, my concern is always to make sure that from the time we recruit you to the time that you're no longer with us, your experience with the Canadian Armed Forces and your service are recognized.
Pease elaborate on some of the work that's being done in conjunction with DND and Veterans Affairs Canada to make sure that our brave men and women in uniform and the families who support them are being supported throughout that career.
