I call the meeting to order.
I'd like to welcome everyone this afternoon to meeting number 31 of the Standing Committee on Veterans Affairs. Pursuant to Standing Order 108(2), we are continuing our study of combat stress and its consequences for the mental health of veterans and their families.
For the first hour our witness is Don Richardson, consultant psychiatrist with the Parkwood Operational Stress Injury Clinic.
Welcome, Mr. Richardson. You're on, sir.
