Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'd also like to welcome you here, Colonel. Being from Cape Breton, I have to say we made a good choice in picking a Nova Scotian and bringing him here today.
There was some talk today about services in Australia. My question is more about how we compare to the other NATO countries in how we handle veterans. I heard somebody mention once that overall we have one of the best veterans programs when you compare those in all the NATO countries. Now, maybe that's just somebody from within bragging.
What are some of the major differences between our programs and those of the Netherlands or Belgium? Do they have ombudsmen over there too?
