Good morning.
Just before we start with our witnesses this morning, I want to let everybody know that I hope to have copies of the letter we sent to the minister that referred to a motion previously dealt with in committee available for you this morning. So that's that. We'll get that out of the way. It's not crucial information just yet, but we'll try to make that available for you as soon as possible.
This morning we have Senator Roméo Dallaire. Mr. Dallaire had previously wanted to attend the committee meeting. Since we're into our study on post-traumatic stress disorder as a result of the veterans independence program and the health care review, we extended this opportunity to him. I'm glad to see that he's here today.
I believe there are two assistants to Mr. Dallaire, a private secretary and an executive assistant: Mr. David Hyman and Hélène Ladouceur.
Mr. Dallaire, usually we allow 20 minutes for the witness and then we open it up to questions for the committee members. Do you wish to have the assistants make presentations as well, or are they here for background for you?
