Good morning.
Welcome, everyone.
This morning I welcome you to meeting number 45 of the Standing Committee on Veterans Affairs.
Today, we are finishing our study on the continuum of transition services.
During the first half of the meeting we will have the pleasure of hearing from Don Ludlow and Tim Patriquin, Treble Victor Group's president and past president; as well as Phil Ralph, national program director, and David MacDonald, from Wounded Warriors Canada.
And during our second hour, we will hear from Guy Parent, Veterans Ombudsman.
Please note that this meeting will conclude with a 15-minute discussion regarding the request from the Standing Committee on Canadian Heritage to have our committee study clause 1 from Bill C-597, an act to amend the Holidays Act.
Okay, we're ready.
I'd like to draw attention to my vice-chair Peter Stoffer and this fancy pin that his colleague is—
Okay, is this for me?
