Thank you, Mr. Chair, and I also want to thank Corporal Fuchko.
Thank you for coming, first of all and appearing before the committee and providing us your invaluable feedback to help us with this important study that we're conducting. I also want to thank you for your service and also, obviously, the sacrifices that you've made and your family, sir, towards our great nation. Thank you for that as well.
Minister Fantino also wanted me to pass along his greetings and his thank you. I guess he had an opportunity to meet with you in Calgary. He was also very happy to hear you were going to be appearing before our committee here today.
Sir, as a veteran of Afghanistan who has experienced the application of the Veterans Charter first hand, I believe your words here today are invaluable to the work of this committee. As a serving member, can you elaborate on your experience between the service and support you received from DND and the service you have received from Veterans Affairs, if any?
