Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. We have the honour today, with our Standing Committee on Veterans Affairs, to have the honourable minister with us.
Mr. Minister, I don't know if you've been told, but I think you probably have 20 minutes to do with as you please, sir. Then after that we have a pre-arrangement in terms of how we go through the rotation of the questions, sir. We are honoured to have you in our presence, and the floor is yours.
