Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, Minister, for being here.
I have a number of questions. I hope we can get to all of them.
The first is in regard to Ste. Anne's Hospital. I'm wondering what is the benefit to veterans of that transfer from the federal department to the province, because I have heard some concerns raised and some complaints from veterans that the service has declined since the transfer. Are you aware of those complaints? If so, have you responded or will you respond to those concerns? That's number one. The second part of the same question is, are the working conditions of the staff who look after folks there the same as prior to the transfer or different?
