Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
I would like to thank our witnesses for coming today to share their concerns with us.
My first question is addressed to you, Mr. Jenkins. You spoke of your concerns about beds being transferred out of Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue Hospital, which is the only veterans hospital that still exists in Canada. You said that those beds should be reserved for, not modern veterans, but veterans from the second wave, sort to speak. I tend to agree with you on that, but I would appreciate your expanding on why it is important to keep those beds available for all veterans who may require long-term care in future.
