Welcome, folks, to yet another meeting of the Standing Committee on Veterans Affairs. We're still doing our study on the veterans ombudsman.
Today we have as our witnesses André Marin, the Ombudsman of Ontario; and Barbara Finlay, the deputy ombudsman and director of operations.
We look forward to your comments, particularly with regard to the structuring of your role and what advice you may have to give us with regard to that in structuring one federally for the veterans.
Generally what happens is that I allow 20 minutes--10 minutes each, or 20 minutes in aggregate, however you wish to split that up--and then afterwards, according to our time allocations, questions by our members.
Monsieur Marin.
