Okay, folks, we're at the appointed hour.
I'd like to welcome our witnesses today: from the Canadian Institute for Military and Veteran Health Research, Dr. Alice Aiken is here with us today, and Susan Marlin, chair of the interim board of directors. From the Department of Veterans Affairs we have Charlotte Bastien--good to see you--and Dr. David Pedlar, director, policy and research. Good to have you here.
You know the study we're on, of course, and we're continuing along with the study of front-line health and well-being of veterans. We've had quite a few witnesses and some visits, and we're moving along quite well, so we look forward to today.
What happens is that we allow ten minutes for each. So we will start, and then the witnesses will answer questions from the members of committee.
So having said welcome, I guess we're starting then with you, Dr. Aiken. Welcome.
