I'd like to thank my colleague Mr. Hayes for allowing me part of his time so I could ask a question. Thank you, Minister.
As the rookie on this committee I want to echo the comments of Mr. Zimmer. I had the good fortune in my work with the True Patriot Love Foundation for military families and veterans to see you at Criée d'automne in Valcartier, with the veterans transition program, even at Remembrance Day. I think you're one of the most hands-on ministers this department has seen in a generation.
