Thank you.
With all due respect, Mr. Chairman, to my colleague Mr. Parent, I have to disagree with his comment. I have felt a very strong, solid working relationship between the minister's office and this committee.
I know you have staff who monitor the blues from the committee, so I know you're well apprised of what we're discussing on a regular basis.
On that note, with the new veterans ombudsman and a new Veterans Bill of Rights, could you tell me what kind of feedback you're getting in your office from the veterans organizations and individual veterans, now that those two things have been established?
