Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I would also like to thank the minister and the deputy minister for coming to answer our questions.
Mr. Minister, a few weeks ago, you announced that 100 new case managers were to be hired in response to, or as a result of the auditor general's report, which criticized wait times, which really are too long for veterans submitting new applications for benefits.
How many of those new case managers do you anticipate hiring this year? How much has been set aside in the main estimates to accommodate these new expenses?
