Thank you, Chair.
It's always a pleasure to speak to our Canadian colleagues. We have here in Australia an excellent relationship with Veterans Affairs Canada.
I thought that providing some background about us might help. We currently provide support to about 320,000 veterans. We provide a wide range of services to those veterans, and we hope to spend an hour covering some of those for you today.
I have two of my division heads within the organization here with me. On my right is Mr. Bayles, who is the head of our rehabilitation and support division, which looks after the rehabilitation, compensation, and income support side of the Department of Veterans' Affairs. We spend more than $6 billion Australian a year in this division.
On my left is Ms. Judy Daniel, who is the division head of our health and community services division, which looks after much of the health care side of our organization. In that organization, too, we spend almost $6 billion a year.
These are the two experts running the two largest parts of our business, so I thought what I would do, given the time available, is to leave it to them to briefly introduce themselves, and then go straight to questions.
