Good morning, ladies and gentlemen, and especially to our honoured veterans. Thank you all very much for coming.
On behalf of our chairperson, Mr. Royal Galipeau, who unfortunately is still under the weather, I'll be assuming the chair in his absence, and hopefully he'll return very soon. I welcome you to the standing committee.
Pursuant to Standing Order 108(2) and section 20.1, or the statutory review provision, of the Enhanced New Veterans Charter Act, we're extremely honoured this morning to have as our witnesses, Mr. Jim Scott of the Equitas Society and as individuals, Donald Sorochan and Kevin Berry.
Before we start, I want to thank each of you for your service to our country.
Could you gentlemen introduce yourself so we can have it recorded, and then we'll proceed to your presentation.
I see Mr. Karygiannis's hand up.
