Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Good afternoon, Lieutenant-Colonel Reibold. It's great to have you here. When we spoke earlier, I mentioned that one of the communities I represent is Happy Valley-Goose Bay. The German air force in particular and our community have had a strong relationship in terms of the training that was conducted there for many years. You will still see the Germany flag flying prominently in several locations in Happy Valley-Goose Bay. Certainly the German air force was always a part of our community, and many personnel still are a part of our community. We hope to have you back sooner rather than later.
You talked about various categories of military personnel and the benefits that were associated with them and you gave a very good description of that. Do you have a separate category for veterans? How would you describe a veteran? Are the benefits similar for those who are retired from the military in some fashion? I'm just wondering how you designate veterans in terms of the German military.
