Good morning. I am very pleased that you are here this morning with us. It is always interesting to have witnesses to help us understand the New Veterans Charter that we are currently examining here in the committee.
I have a question for each of the representatives. Of course, I would first like to ask Mr. Kettle a question if my colleague can let him work a little bit.
Mr. Kettle, your role is to offer spiritual and also psychological support to military personnel and veterans, who have sometimes been involved in very difficult missions.
Could you talk to me a little bit about how fragile the people you meet with can be, as a result of their difficult military missions and the increasingly common problem of post-traumatic stress syndrome? We have some statistics on this. Last week, we were told that one out of every eight soldiers was dealing with PTSD. I would like your comments on that.
