Good evening, everyone, and thank you for coming out tonight.
I will call the meeting to order. This is meeting number 19 of the Standing Committee on Veterans Affairs. Pursuant to Standing Order 108(2), we are studying service delivery to veterans.
Tonight we have in front of us two witnesses, Mr. Jerry Kovacs and Mr. George Zimmerman.
We will give each witness time for a statement of up to 10 or 11 minutes. Then we'll have an hour of questioning, and we'll go from there.
Welcome, gentlemen. Good evening and thank you for coming. Mr. Kovacs has given Mr. Zimmerman first up.
Mr. Zimmerman, you're up.
