I'm going to call this meeting to order.
I know we're a couple of minutes early. Before we start the meeting, I think our camera crew all know there will be no filming during the proceedings.
Welcome, everyone, to the Standing Committee on Veterans Affairs, meeting number 25, and pursuant to Standing Order 108(2), a briefing from the Veterans Ombudsman with respect to the activities of his office.
Our witness today is from the Office of the Veterans Ombudsman, Patrick B. Stogran, Veterans Ombudsman.
Welcome, sir. Would you would like to start your presentation, please?
