Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to all the witnesses for coming here this afternoon.
I will start with a comment. Over these past several weeks, we have been listening to different groups, different witnesses, and different opinions. We all try to search for an ideal world, and the closer we get to it, I guess the better it is. But to be fair, we also, I think, have to say that maybe issues that were brought by veterans groups and veterans to this government—some that were addressed—were not necessarily related to the charter.
There were some deep cuts that probably all of you remember in the 1995 budget that this government reversed, and it brought the benefits back. Therefore, this should also count as an action.
The question I have, Mr. Chair, through you to Mr. Forbes, is on the existing services under the charter. What are the main complaints you hear from your membership on the delivery of the services? They exist, but we hear that there is a problem with delivery. What are the main issues? What are the main obstacles on the delivery side?
