Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
I would also like to thank our witnesses for coming here today to share their thoughts with us. I would like to congratulate them for their excellent work which is evident in the report on improving the New Veterans Charter.
I am going to make a statement but please correct me if I am wrong. From what I understand of your report, those who are at the biggest disadvantage under the New Veterans Charter are probably veterans who are almost totally incapacitated or those who are seriously injured and have not accumulated 10 years of service.
What is the financial support for 65-year-old veterans? What is the potential impact on their lives? What kind of solutions should be considered in order to improve the lives of those veterans who have not accumulated 10 years of service and therefore will not be entitled to a pension at age 65?
