Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
Mr. Stogran, I'd like to thank you for the service and commitment you've made to our country in serving in the Canadian Armed Forces and to our veterans in the last three years with your services as the Veterans Ombudsman. I know that my office has had dealings with your office, and you've certainly done a good job of establishing the Office of the Veterans Ombudsman.
I'd like to talk to you about comments you've made in reference to the insurance company mentality within Veterans Affairs, where more focus is put on saving money than on caring for veterans. Could you discuss your conversations with public servants that have led you to this conclusion, along with any examples?
