Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I also want to thank our witnesses for taking the time to be with us to help us in this important study that we're conducting.
We've been told that medical research indicates that the Pension Act did little to nothing for veterans' rehabilitation, meaning the Pension Act was not geared to generate the best possible outcome. We heard last week that there is a misconception that the Pension Act provided a well-paid pension and that in most cases this is obviously not true.
Can you elaborate on what principle of this research this new Veterans Charter is based, and what support is provided to assist veterans in their recovery and transition to civilian life?
