Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
Ms. Bradley, Mr. Stamatakis, Mr. Upshall, thank you so much for joining us today. I think I speak for all members of the committee when I say we're extremely grateful to have this opportunity to conduct this study, and we are grateful for the opportunity to hear your insights this afternoon.
For the benefit of Canadians who may be listening or reading the transcript later, and for the benefit of the committee, I wonder if we could start by taking a closer look at the human costs of what we call OSI, PTSD, the mental stressors we're talking about. What exactly is it? How do the individuals react who are exposed to these circumstances? How do their families react? How destructive a force is it? With examples, if you can, could you illuminate this issue for us and paint a picture of what we're talking about?
