Good morning.
This morning, we are starting our 43rd meeting of the Standing Committee on Veterans Affairs.
We're taking a break from the study on the transition of members of the military with the Department of National Defence to veterans. Instead, we will be hearing from representatives of the Department of Veterans Affairs: Sue Foster, assistant deputy minister of communications and commemoration; John Desrosiers, acting director of commemoration operations; as well as from retired Major-General Richard Rohmer, special adviser to the minister.
The goal of their presentation is to provide an update on the commemoration activities of the Department of Veterans Affairs and to discuss some commemoration initiatives. We are dealing with this topic today, since this is when retired Major-General Rohmer is available.
This will be the only item on the orders of the day for today's meeting, and the nature of the meeting will be very similar to the Nijmegen march meeting from a few weeks back.
Major-General, we are ready to be enlightened by you.
