The committee will come to order.
As you know, pursuant to the Standing Orders, we are undertaking a comparative analysis study on the services and benefits offered to veterans by Canada and its allies.
I'd like to welcome our guests. I'll introduce you in a second.
I want to give a heads-up to the committee that we have a letter from the finance committee to provide a response to the budget bill. We have the opportunity to do so, and I'm going to deal with that at the end of this business. As well, we have to review a private member’s bill and report back, and we are ready to do that. So we have two items of business at the end.
Good morning to Mr. Robert Reynolds, director of the benefits assistance service with the Veterans Benefits Administration of the United States Department of Veterans Affairs.
Rather than go through the names again, maybe you can introduce yourselves and then give a small presentation.
We have our committee members here; we have three parties represented, and we'll let them ask questions. Please start by introducing yourselves and then give your presentation.
