Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the 13th meeting of the Standing Committee on Veterans Affairs.
I see that our main witness, Mr. Sean Bruyea, is here. Joining Mr. Bruyea is his wife, Carolina Bruyea.
We'll be hearing testimony and questions for the first hour. Since we started late because a committee was in here, we'll go to 12:08, and then we'll excuse the witnesses and go in camera for committee business.
The last meeting we have before our constituency week is on Thursday. There will be three officials at that meeting.
We have an opportunity to chart our course, because our analyst has an outline of the report. We'll have a full draft report when we return, and we will need to deal with the business of where we'll go after the report is done. We'll finish the recommendations and of course send it to the House.
Without any further delay, Mr. Bruyea, I think you are well familiar with how the committee works, so I'll let you begin with your opening remarks, and then we'll go to the usual rotation of questions.
