Thank you very much, Peter
Ladies and gentlemen, we're very honoured to be here to be able to address this important issue.
I'll introduce those who have come with us: Glen Kirkland, who does not know that I used to commute to work with his dad and used to see him when he was just a young kid, days back in Delta that he doesn't remember; Aaron Bedard from Vancouver, one of the representative plaintiffs in a pending class action lawsuit run by the law firm Miller Thomson; Kevin Berry, a war veteran, who is also a representative plaintiff; and me, the father of a veteran who was looking into why there were issues with the new Veterans Charter; and Don Sorochan, the lead counsel for Miller Thomson, representing the plaintiffs through the legal process.
