It's very good to be here, Chair.
I want to thank the witnesses so much for their important testimony today.
I'm going to come to Colonel Jardine first. It's very good to see you.
In 2021, your office published an investigative report entitled “Peer Support for Veterans who have Experienced Military Sexual Trauma”. You found that there is a gap in access to peer support for veterans and MST survivors. You recommended the government provide a funded peer-support program that meets the needs of veterans who have experienced MST, and publish the GBA+ for the establishment of the program.
I'm wondering if you could update the committee on the progress that has been made with regard to this recommendation.
