Welcome to the committee. This is surprising testimony.
I'm going to speak from the same perspective as Mr. Oliphant. We are currently reviewing the New Veterans Charter, and a number of people have come to meet with us on the subject. I hope the government will consider the report that is prepared and the many recommendations that will be made. That's always desirable.
You nevertheless said you had experienced reprisals in your efforts to obtain justice with regard to your rights. As regards the public service, I would like you to explain to us a little about the type of reprisals you have experienced. And I'd also like you to give us some recommendations on the kind of assistance and support you would have liked to receive, but that you did not receive, from Veterans Affairs in your efforts over the past few years.
