Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thanks so much for being with us today. You mentioned the responsibilities of your mandate. One of them was investigations in regard to criminal behaviour, false claims, and benefits fraud, that type of thing. You shared very specific stats on the number of arrests, funds that were recouped, and that type of thing. On the flip side of that, is there a comparable level of investigation to determine when veterans are being denied benefits? Your system of eight different silos must make it very complex for veterans. With the long delay of up to five years to get a claim heard, I'm just wondering how they would go about it. Are there any stats on the number of veterans who you feel were unfairly denied, and the amount of funds involved in those kinds of circumstances?
