Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. We're starting a few minutes late because we wanted to make sure we had enough for full quorum, and because of the delay in the votes in the House of Commons.
Today we have witnesses with us from the National Aboriginal Veterans Association. I had a chance to meet you gentlemen on the way in. Alastair MacPhee is the policy adviser, and Claude Petit is the president.
As for the way it generally works, you have 20 minutes. You can share that time however you see fit. You can take 10 minutes each, or if you want 20 minutes for one and zero for the other, that's your prerogative.
Then we'll go to our predetermined list of partisan questions, in a sense. We all have that laid out. There will be two different rounds. We'll start sounding off, and I'll introduce them as they come.
The floor is yours.
