On behalf of the committee, if we are unanimous, we should all send Ms. Romanado greetings and thank her for the time she spent on the committee.
I'd like to introduce our guests today. First we have, from the Vanier Institute of the Family, Colonel Russell Mann, special adviser, now retired; and Nora Spinks, chief executive officer. I welcome both of you.
From the Veterans Emergency Transition Services we have Debbie Lowther, co-founder.
I'm sure some of you have appeared at or watched committee meetings. We're going to start off by giving each organization up to 10 minutes to explain what you do for our great men and women. From there we will start the questioning with Robert Kitchen who will do the first six minutes.
We drew straws and I'll call the Vanier Institute of the Family first.
