Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman.
Mr. Missal, thank you so much for joining us today and sharing your thoughts. It's very much appreciated.
I want to start with one thing that I think is probably common to the veterans departments in Canada and the U.S. That's the complex system of benefits and services provided by each department. I'm wondering if you could comment on what is being done currently in the United States to try to simplify or streamline the process of accessing benefits or services that the members have earned. Could you talk a bit about the complexity issue and how you are focusing on making it simpler?
