Mr. Thibeau, I heard you talking in your opening statement about how you're an advocate for veterans. On this committee, whether we're government or opposition, I think we'd all consider ourselves to be advocates for veterans. We have a job to do, and this is legislative, but we advocate for you, and I think the actions are being played out in this with that effect. I would like to just start off with that.
And thank you for being an advocate as well.
With the amendments that we discussed—and you have talked to them specifically—would you say the changes we've talked about here, such as the Last Post one, doubling the amount, and especially the allowance, are supported by veterans in your organization?
